Explanation

Under Article 108 of the Constitution, a joint sitting is an extraordinary machinery provided to resolve a deadlock between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha [2]. This mechanism is specifically applicable to Ordinary Legislation and Financial Bills [4]. A deadlock occurs if a bill is rejected by the other House, if Houses disagree on amendments, or if more than six months elapse without passage [2]. However, a joint sitting cannot be summoned for a Money Bill, as the Lok Sabha has overriding powers and the Rajya Sabha can only delay it for 14 days [4]. Similarly, Article 368(2) requires Constitution Amendment Bills to be passed by each House separately by a special majority; thus, no joint sitting is permitted for such bills [4]. Therefore, only ordinary legislation (Statement 1) allows for a joint sitting.
