In which of the following scenarios can a joint sitting of both Houses of the Indian Parliament be called?
CorrectAnswer: B. To pass an Ordinary Bill that has been rejected by one House but passed by the other
Explanation:
Ordinary Bill: A joint sitting can be called under Article 108 of the Indian Constitution to pass an Ordinary Bill that has been rejected by one House but passed by the other, or where there is a disagreement between the two Houses, or if a bill is pending for more than six months in either House.
Money Bill: A joint sitting is not applicable for Money Bills. Money Bills can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and must be approved by the Rajya Sabha within 14 days. The Rajya Sabha can suggest amendments, but it is the Lok Sabha’s prerogative to accept or reject them.
Finance Bill-I: Similar to Money Bills, Finance Bills primarily deal with financial matters like taxation and expenditure and are also not subject to a joint sitting.
A joint sitting is primarily a mechanism to resolve deadlocks related to Ordinary Bills and not for Money Bills or Finance Bills.
