Answer: (b
Explanation
Rajya Sabha has equal powers with Lok Sabha in the amendment of the

dy
constitutional bill. Unlike money bill, the constitutional amendment bill has
to be approved by both the houses of Parliament with special majority.

tu
There is no provision of Joint Session in case of disagreement, so, Lok
s
.
Sabha cannot override the decision of Rajya Sabha

s
es
However, in the matters of formation and removal of government, the
Rajya Sabha has unequal status with respect to Lok Sabha. Similarly,
l
ire
Rajya Sabha has less powers in the matters of finance like making cut
motions, passing money bill, etc. vis-a-vis Lok Sabha
t
The Rajya Sabha has been given some special powers which it enjoys
@
exclusively. This includes power to authorise the Parliament to create
new All-India Services common to both the Centre and states (Article
312) by passing a resolution
Therefore the correct answer is (b).
