History & Civics
What is the quorum to hold the meetings of the Lok Sabha? What happens when the quorum of a House is not met?
Answer
The quorum of the Lok Sabha is one-tenth of its total membership. Thus, the House cannot conduct its proceedings or pass Bills and resolutions without the presence of at least one-tenth of its total members.
When the quorum is not met, the Speaker may adjourn the House or suspend the meeting until the required quorum is present.
