Legislative Procedure in Parliament

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Covers the stages a bill undergoes: First Reading (introduction), Second Reading (detailed debate and committee scrutiny), Consideration Stage (clause-by-clause voting), Third Reading (final approval), and the President’s assent. Differentiates ordinary bills from money bills or constitutional amendment bills, each following specific procedures. Lok Sabha’s primacy in financial legislation stems from the requirement that money bills originate there. Rajya Sabha’s role involves revising or delaying, but not outright vetoing, money bills. The President can return non-money bills once for reconsideration. This rigorous lawmaking framework ensures careful deliberation, balancing legislative efficiency with democratic scrutiny of proposed legislation.
