The Indian Constitution has three categories of amending procedure. Amendments can be carried out through simple majority of members present and voting before sending to President for assent.
Amendments can only be carried out by two-third majority of members present and voting of each House before it is sent to the President. Sometimes not only two-third majority of members present in both Houses but also approval of 50% of the state legislatures is required before sending it to the President.
