When can a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament NOT be summoned?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 108 of the Constitution permits joint sittings for ordinary and financial bills to resolve legislative deadlocks, but explicitly excludes Money Bills and Constitutional Amendment Bills. Money bills enjoy absolute supremacy of the Lok Sabha, whereas constitutional amendments require independent passage by a two-thirds majority in each house separately. This ensures that bicameral checks on core legislative amendments remain intact.
