With reference to the No-Confidence Motion in India, consider the following statements:
1. There is no explicit mention of a No-Confidence Motion in the Constitution of India.
2. A No-Confidence Motion can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha at the central level.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. There is indeed no mention of the No-Confidence Motion in the Constitution of India; it is governed under Rule 198 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha. Furthermore, because the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha, this motion can only be introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha.
