Special Powers of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha
Rajya Sabha which represents the States,enjoys certain special powers under the Constitution. Article 249 of the Constitution provides that Rajya Sabha may pass a resolution, by a majority of not less than two thirds of the members present and voting, to the effect that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest that Parliament should make a law with respect to any matter enumerated in the State List.
Then, Parliament is empowered to make a law on the subject specified in the resolution for the whole or any part of the territory of India. Such a resolution remains in force for a maximum period of one year but this period can be extended by one year at a time by passing a further resolution.
Again, under article 312 of the Constitution, if Rajya Sabha passes a resolution by a majority of not less than two thirds of the members present and voting declaring that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest to create one or more All India Services common to the Union and theStates, Parliament has the power to create by law such services.
Under the Constitution, President is empowered to issue Proclamations in the event of national emergency (article 352), in the event of failure of constitutional machinery in a State (article 356), or in the case of financial emergency (article 360).
1. To pass a resolution under article 249 of the Constitution enabling Parliament to legislate on any subject enumerated in the State List.
2.To pass a resolution under article 312 of the Constitution enabling Parliament to create one or more All India Services common to the Union and the States.
3.If a proclamation is issued for imposing national emergency (article 352) or failure of Constitutional machinery in a State (article 356) or financial emergency (article 360), at a time when Lok Sabha has been dissolved then the proclamation remains effective even if it is approved by Rajya Sabha alone.
Special Powers of Lok Sabha
Lok Sabha enjoys special powers in regard to the 'collective responsibility' of the Government and in financial matters. The Constitution provides that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the House of the People (Lok Sabha).
The power to control the purse also lies with Lok Sabha. A Money Bill has to be introduced only in Lok Sabha. Similarly, Demands for Grants of the various Ministries are also made to, discussed and voted in Lok Sabha.
