A constitution is called rigid as well as flexible on the basis of the procedure for its amendments. A rigid constitution is one which cannot be amended easily. On the contrary, a flexible constitution can be amended easily. The strength of a rigid constitution is that it is stable and is a guarantee against hasty changes. A flexible constitution is considered progressive in nature and helpful in development of the nation. Keeping this in mind, the Constitution of India is a combination of both rigid as well as flexible. It is not only sacred document, that is a framework for democratic governance but also an instrument that may require modifications.
Accordingly, there are three methods of amendment.

Procedures of Amendment


(1) By Simple Majority - Certain provisions of the Constitution can easily be changed by passing the Amendment Bill by simple majority which means the bill should be approved by a majority of the members present and voting in both the Houses of the Parliament.


(2) By Special Majority - The Amendment Bill shall have to be approved by both the Houses of the Parliament by (i) absolute majority of total membership and (ii) two - third majority of members present and voting. Most of the provisions of our constitution are amended by this method.


(3) Special Majority and Ratification - After the bill is passed by Special Majority in both the Houses of the Parliament, it may be approved by the legislatures of at least half of the total number of states.

The Indian Constitution is both rigid and flexible in the following manner:-

The procedure of amendment is neither as easy as in England nor as difficult as in the United States.

The federal provision of the constitution cannot be amended easily, e.g., the division of powers between the centre and the states.

In such cases, a constitutional amendment must be passed by the two-third members of the Parliament and ratified by one-half of the states before sending the bill to the President.

In such cases, only two-thirds majority of member present and voting is needed. Consent of the states is not needed.

All the constitutional amendments can be initiated only in the Union Parliament and not in any State Legislature.

Hope it helps...:-)
