Compare powers &
functions of the two
houses of the Indian Parliament.
Answers
Lok Sabha (Lower House) and Raj Sabha (Upper House) are the two houses of the Parliament. The powers of Raj sabha are very limited as compared to the Lok Sabha :
A. Financial Powers : Lok Sabha is very much powerful with regard to the financial powers. Money bills are introduced only in Lok Sabha and Raj sabha has to return the money bill before 14 days.
B. Control over the executive : The control of Raj Sabha over executive is also very limited. Actually the council of ministers are responsible only to Lok Sabha. Lok Sabha can remove the government from office by passing no-confidence motion which is introduced only in Lok Sabha.
C. Legislative Powers : With regard to the legislative powers, Lok Sabha is again very strong. The bill passed by the Lok Sabha, is sent to the Raj Sabha which can not hold it for more than 40 days and after 40 days the bill stands automatically passed by the Raj sabha.
