All of the statements in the question are correct, therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Statement 1 is correct as Article 108 of the Indian Constitution does provide for a joint sitting of the two houses of the Parliament, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, in case of disagreement on certain legislative proposals.

Statement 2 is also correct. The first joint sitting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha was indeed held in the year 1961.

Statement 3 is correct as well. The second joint sitting of the two Houses of Indian Parliament was held to pass the Banking Service Commission (Repeal) Bill.

Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect because they don`t include all the statements that are correct, whereas option 4 includes all the correct statements.
