A YEAR.
– THE GAP BETWEEN SESSIONS MUST NOT BE MORE THAN SIX
MONTHS.
– THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA SUMMONS AND CLOSES EACH SESSION.
– THE FIRST SESSION BEGINS WITH AN ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT.
– THERE ARE FIXED TIME PERIODS SUCH AS THE QUESTION HOUR
AND THE ZERO HOUR FOR THE PARLIAMENT TO DISCUSS
DIFFERENT MATTERS.

20. QUESTION HOUR
– THE FIRST HOUR OF EVERY SITTING OF THE
PARLIAMENT IS KNOWN AS THE QUESTION HOUR.
– DURING THIS PERIOD, THE MINISTERS ANSWER
QUESTIONS SENT IN ADVANCE BY VARIOUS MPS.
– DEBATES OVER THE QUERIES AND REPLIES HELP
REVEAL FLAWS IN THE GOVERNMENT’S POLICIES.

21. ZERO HOUR
– THE TIME BETWEEN THE QUESTION HOUR AND
THE BEGINNING OF THE REST OF THE DAY’S WORK
IS KNOWN AS THE ZERO HOUR.
– THE ZERO HOUR IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
DEBATES OVER ISSUES OF PUBLIC INTEREST ARE
HELD DURING THIS PERIOD.

22. 
A PROPOSAL TO PASS A NEW LAW OR TO
CHANGE AN EXISTING ONE IS CALLED A
BILL.
MAKING LAWS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
FUNCTION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
OUR PARLIAMENT CAN MAKE NEW LAWS
AND ALSO CHANGE EXISTING ONES
BILL

23. HOW A BILL BECOMES A LAW
• FIRST READING: A BILL IS FIRST READ IN A HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT
WHEN A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE INTRODUCES IT.
• SECOND READING: AT THIS STAGE, THE BILL IS DISCUSSED
THOROUGHLY AND MEMBERS SUGGEST POSSIBLE CHANGES.
• THIRD READING: AT THIS STAGE, THE BILL IS DRAFTED AGAIN AFTER
MAKING SUITABLE CHANGES AND IT IS PRESENTED AND PUT TO
VOTE. IF THE MAJORITY OF MEMBERS PRESENT VOTE IN FAVOUR OF
THE BILL, IT IS PASSED.
• THE BILL IS THEN SENT TO THE OTHER HOUSE, WHERE IT GOES
THROUGH THE SAME PROCEDURE. IF PASSED BY THIS HOUSE, IT IS
SENT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR HIS APPROVAL.
• THE BILL WHEN SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT BECOMES A LAW.
