Constitution Amendment Bill

 Constitutional Amendment Bill can originate in either House.


 Each House has to pass the Bill with two thirds majority of the total membership of that
House.
 If 2nd House passes the Bill with amendments it is referred back to the House in which it
originated and if that House agrees to those amendments with two thirds majority it is
sent to the President for assent. If the 2nd House does not agree to the Bill or the
amendments the matter ends there and then.
 Constitutional amendment Bill which seeks altering the limits of a Province shall also be
passed by the Provincial Assembly of that Province by the votes of not less than two
thirds of its total membership.
