Official UPSC Answer KeyUPSC Prelims 2004 • Polity

Correct Answer: Option (A) — In the Lok Sabha, a no-confidence motion has to set out the grounds on which it is based

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Option (a) is not correct (and hence the correct answer): Under Rule 198 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, a No-Confidence Motion does not require the member to specify any grounds or reasons on which it is based. It simply expresses lack of confidence in the Council of Ministers.

Options (b), (c), and (d) are all correct factual statements regarding the rules governing no-confidence motions.

Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

Remember that a 'Censure Motion' must state specific reasons/charges against a minister/ministry, whereas a 'No-Confidence Motion' does not need to state grounds.
