To resolve a deadlock between the two Houses, in case of an ordinary legislation, the Constitution provides for the joint sitting of both Houses. In fact, there have been three occasions in the past when the Houses of Parliament had met in joint sitting to resolve differences between them.
Issues in joint sitting are decided by a majority of the total number of members of both Houses present and voting.
However, in the case of a Money Bill, there is no provision in the Constitution for a joint sitting of both Houses as Lok Sabha clearly enjoys pre-eminence over Rajya Sabha in financial matters. As regards a Constitution amendment Bill, it has been provided in the Constitution that such a Bill has to be passed by the specific majority, as prescribed under article of the Constitution, by both Houses.
There is, therefore, no provision for resolving a deadlock between the two Houses in regard to a Constitution amendment Bill. Ministers may belong to either House of Parliament. The Constitution does not make any distinction between the Houses in this regard. Every Minister has the right to speak and take part in the proceedings of either House but he is entitled to vote only in the House of which he is a member.
Similarly, with regard to powers, privileges and immunities of the Houses of Parliament, their members and committees thereof, the two Houses are placed absolutely on equal footing by the Constitution. Other important matters in respect of which both Houses enjoy equal powers are election and impeachment of the President, election of the Vice-President, approving the Proclamation of Emergency, the proclamation regarding failure of constitutional machinery in States and financial emergency.
In respect of receiving reports and papers from various statutory authorities, etc. It is thus clear that except in the case of collective responsibility of the Council of Ministers and certain financial matters, which fall in the domain of Lok Sabha only, both Houses enjoy equal powers. Special Powers of Rajya Sabha. Rajya Sabha being a federal chamber enjoys certain special powers under the Constitution.
Union and State Lists are mutually exclusive - one cannot legislate on a matter placed in the sphere of the other. Such a resolution remains in force for a maximum period of one year but this period can be extended by one year at a time by passing a similar resolution further. If Rajya Sabha passes a resolution by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting declaring that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest to create one or more All India Services common to the Union and the States, Parliament becomes empowered to create by law such services.
Under the Constitution, the President is empowered to issue Proclamations in the event of national emergency, in the event of failure of constitutional machinery in a State, or in the case of financial emergency. Every such proclamation has to be approved by both Houses of Parliament within a stipulated period. Under certain circumstances, however, Rajya Sabha enjoys special powers in this regard. If a Proclamation is issued at a time when Lok Sabha has been dissolved or the dissolution of Lok Sabha takes place within the period allowed for its approval, then the proclamation remains effective, if the resolution approving it is passed by Rajya Sabha within the period specified in the Constitution under articles , and A Money Bill can be introduced only in Lok Sabha.
After it is passed by that House, it is transmitted to Rajya Sabha for its concurrence or recommendation. Shri Derek O' Brien. Amar Patnaik. Shri Abdul Wahab. Shri Hardeep Singh Puri.

Lok Sabha is composed of representatives of the people chosen by direct election on the basis of the adult suffrage.
