Save as otherwise offered in this Constitution, all queries at any sedentary of either House or joint sedentary of the Houses shall be regulated by a majority of votes of the affiliates in attendance and voting, other than the Speaker or person substitute as Chairman or Speaker. The Chairman or Speaker, or person substituting as such, shall not vote in the initial occurrence, but shall have and implement a casting vote in the case of equivalence of votes. The quorum of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha is one-tenth of the overall affiliation of each house. The quorum to establish a sedentary of the House is one-tenth of the overall number of affiliates of the House, for both Lok Sabha as well as Rajya Sabha. If there is no quorum, it shall be the responsibility of the chairman or speaker to suspend the house or adjourn the meeting. The Constitution has set one-tenth potency as a quorum for both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The tenure of individual affiliates is 6 years. Unpremeditated positions, whenever happening, are filled through bye-elections for the residual tenure only.
