Question
How is a new law introduced in Parliament?

Answer

Parliament of India consists of the President and two Houses. The two houses are— the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the people or the Lok Sabha. Parliament plays an instrumental role in making laws.
A bill can be introduced in either house of Parliament. Government Bill is introduced by the Minister and Private bill can be introduced by a private member. The procedure for the passage of Bills is similar in both the cases. A Bill has to successfully pass through three stages in each House of Parliament and receive President’s approval before it becomes an Act of Parliament. If any deadlock occurs between the two Houses over the issue of a Bill, it is resolved at a joint sitting.
