A deadlock between the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha calls for a joint sitting of the Parliament during the passage of:

  1. 1.Ordinary legislation
  2. 2.Money bill
  3. 3.Constitution amendment bill

Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

  1. A.1 only
  2. B.2 and 3 only
  3. C.1 and 3 only
  4. D.1, 2 and 3
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: A. 1 only

A joint sitting of Parliament can be convened to resolve disagreements between the two Houses on ordinary legislative matters. However, such a sitting is not applicable for Money Bills, as the Lok Sabha has exclusive powers in this regard. Similarly, it is not used for Constitution Amendment Bills, which require a special majority in each House separately.
