By not less than 1/4th of the members of the house

Explanation:

• The motion for impeachment/charges can be initiated in either house (that is, Lok Sabah or Rajya Sabha) of the Parliament. However, before impeaching (charging) the President, 14 days advance notice should be given of the said cause authorized and signed by not less than 1/4th of the members of that particular house.
• If the motion of impeachment/charges is initiated up by the (Upper House) Rajya Sabha, then (Lower House), the Lok Sabha, will sit in ruling and vice versa. If motion is sustained by a 2/3rd majority of members present and voting, the President stands impeached and shall demit (leave/terminate) office.
