In case of difference of opinion over an ordinary law, a joint session can be called with members of both the houses 3. A similar provision of joint session is present in the State Legislative Assemblies Which of the above statements is/are correct? Correct Answer 1 and 2

The correct answer is 1 and 2.

Key Points

  • Any ordinary law needs to be passed by both Houses. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
  • But if there is a difference between the two Houses, the final decision is taken in a joint session in which members of both the Houses sit together. Hence, Statement 2 is correct.
  • Because of the larger number of members, the view of the Lok Sabha is likely to prevail in such a meeting.
  • But, Lok Sabha exercises more powers in money matters.
  • Once the Lok Sabha passes the budget of the government or any other money-related law, the Rajya Sabha cannot reject it. The Rajya Sabha can only delay it by 14 days or suggest changes in it. The Lok Sabha may or may not accept these changes.
  • There is no provision for joint sitting in such cases. 

Important Points

  • Also, there is no provision of the joint session in the State Legislative Assemblies, in case of difference of opinion over an ordinary bill. Hence, Statement 3 is not correct.
