Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) In Lok Sabha, a no-confidence motion has to set out the grounds on which it is based
Rule 198 of the Lok Sabha Rules states that a no-confidence motion “need not set out any grounds”, making statement (a) incorrect. The Rules prescribe no substantive admissibility conditions, require that the motion be taken up within ten days once admitted, and empower only the Lok Sabha (not the Rajya Sabha) to consider such a motion; hence the other statements are correct and option (a) is the only incorrect one.
