Under which conditions can the President promulgate an Ordinance?

The power to promulgate an Ordinance is subject to the following conditions:

1. The President must be satisfied that circumstances make it necessary for him/her to take immediate action.
2. An Ordinance can be promulgated at a time when both Houses of Parliament are not in session. However, if one House is in session, there is no bar in issuing of Ordinances.
3. The Ordinance so promulgated should be laid before both Houses of Parliament when they reassemble. If the Parliament does not approve the Ordinance, it lapses. If an ordinance is not disapproved, it will automatically cease to operate at the end of six weeks from the date the Parliament re-assembles.
4. The Ordinance lapses if it is replaced by an Act of Parliament.
