Under parliamentary rules, what is the maximum number of members who can sign a notice of a 'No-Confidence Motion' in the Lok Sabha before it can be admitted by the Speaker?
A. At least 25 members
B. At least 50 members✓ Correct Answer
C. At least 100 members
D. One-third of total strength
💡 Solution & Explanation
Under the rules of procedure in the Lok Sabha, a notice for a No-Confidence Motion must be supported by at least fifty members before the Speaker can grant leave for its admission and subsequent debate. Lower thresholds than fifty are incorrect because the rules specifically mandate this number to prevent frivolous motions. This provision derives its procedural significance directly from Rule 198 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha.
