Question

explain the various procedure of amendment

Answer 1

Procedure for Amendment:
1.A constitution amendment bill can be introduced in any house of the parliament. A bill for the purpose of amendment of the constitution can NOT be introduced in any state legislature.

2.The Ordinance making the power of the President can NOT be used to amend the Constitution.
 
3.A constitution amendment bill can be introduced both as a government bill or a private member bill. However, if it’s a Private Member, then it has to be examined in the first instance and recommended for introduction by the Committee on Private Members’ Bills and Resolutions before it is included for introduction in the List of Business.

4.The prior recommendation of President is NOT needed in introducing the constitution amendment bills.

5.Constitution Amendment Bills are not treated as Money Bills or Financial Bills even if they have some provisions related to them.

6.A constitution amendment bill must pass in both the houses separately by absolute + special majority {absolute → more than 50% of strength; special → 2/3 of present and voting}.
 
7.If there is a disagreement between the two houses on a constitution amendment bill, there is NO provision of joint sitting to resolve the deadlock.

8.The bills which result in some changes in the constitution but passed by simple majority are not deemed to be Constitution Amendments.

9.If a bill seeks to amend the federal provisions of the Constitution, it must also be ratified by the legislatures of half of the states by a simple majority.

10.Once the bill is passed in both houses, the bill is sent to the president for approval. The 24th Amendment Act of 1971 had made it obligatory for the President to give his assent to a constitutional Amendment Bill. Thus, for a Constitution amendment bill, a President can neither withhold his assent not return the bill for reconsideration.
