Amendments to Bills can be moved under three conditions -
  • one, when cleared by the Union Cabinet;
  • second, the Prime Minister invokes Rule 12 of the transaction of business and takes a suo motu decision, and a post facto approval is then sought from the Union Cabinet;
  • Third, an empowered group of ministers meet and clear it, again with post facto approval of the Cabinet.
    • In all these cases, approval by union cabinet is needed be it before or after.
