What happens if a deadlock occurs between the two Houses of Parliament over a regular Ordinary Bill?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Under Article 108 of the Indian Constitution, the President can summon a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament to resolve a legislative deadlock over an ordinary bill. This mechanism is invoked only when a bill passed by one House is rejected by the other, or when the houses disagree on amendments, or when more than six months elapse without action. Money bills and constitutional amendment bills cannot be subjected to a joint sitting procedure.
