Question 57

The Lok Sabha has been the pulse of the vitality of Indian democracy. Mention any three exclusive powers of the Lok Sabha to justify this statement.

Answer

Three exclusive powers of the Lok Sabha are as follows:

  1. Motions of No-Confidence against the government can only be introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha, and not the Rajya Sabha.
  2. Money Bills can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha, and upon being passed, are sent to the Rajya Sabha, where it can be deliberated on for upto 14 days.
  3. In case of a deadlock between the two Houses over an ordinary bill, the will of the Lok Sabha normally prevails, as its strength is more than double that of Rajya Sabha.
