Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Constitution Amendment Bill
Under Article 368, a Constitution-amendment Bill must be passed in each House of Parliament by a special majority (a majority of the total membership and two-thirds of members present and voting). Ordinary, Money and Finance Bills require only the procedures laid down in Articles 107–117 and do not need such a special majority. Hence only the Constitution Amendment Bill fits the requirement.
