The zero hour refers to the time interval between 12 pm and 1 pm in Indian parliament. This hour is known as question hour because the fellows of Indian Parliament raise the questions regarding the major issues in the country. The zero hour is between a question hour and business hour of the Parliament. It is known as zero hour because it starts from 12 pm. Even though there are no rules to follow zero hour, the parliament associates generally use this one hour to discuss important issues.
