Question

Contract the power of lok sabha with the rajya sabha

Answer 1

1. Legislative Powers:

In the sphere of ordinary law-making the Rajya Sabha enjoys equal powers with the Lok Sabha. An ordinary bill can be introduced in the Rajya Sabha and it cannot become a law unless passed by it.

In case of a deadlock between the two Houses of Parliament over an ordinary bill and if it remains unresolved for six months, the President can convene a joint sitting of the two Houses for resolving the deadlock.

This joint sitting is presided over by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. If the bill is passed in the joint sitting, it is sent to the President for his signatures. But if the deadlock is not resolved, the bill is deemed to have been killed.

2. Financial Powers:

In the financial sphere, the Rajya Sabha is a weak House. A money bill cannot be introduced in the Rajya Sabha.

Answer 2

Lok sabha has more power as the people are elected by people

Rajya sabha has less power
