Concept:The constitutional amendment process under Article 368 does not permit a joint sitting of Parliament to resolve disagreements between the two Houses.
Explanation:An amendment bill can be introduced in either House of Parliament by a minister or a private member.
No prior permission of the President is required for its introduction.
The bill must be passed separately in each House by a special majority: a majority of the total membership and at least two-thirds of the members present and voting.
If the two Houses disagree, there is no provision for a joint sitting to resolve the deadlock.
For amendments affecting federal provisions, ratification by at least half of the state legislatures by simple majority is required.
After passing both Houses, the bill is sent to the President, who must give assent—he cannot withhold or return it.
Thus, option B, which claims joint sitting can be used for amendment bills, is incorrect.
Answer:Option B is not correct. Joint sitting cannot be resorted to for passing a Bill amending the Constitution of India.
