Rajya Sabha has equal powers with Lok Sabha in
Explanation
Comparing the legislative jurisdictions of both Houses of Parliament:
– Option B is correct: Under Article 368, a Constitutional Amendment Bill can be introduced in either House and must be passed by each House separately by a special majority (majority of the total membership and two-thirds of the members present and voting). There is no provision for a joint sitting under Article 108 for constitutional amendments; thus, the Rajya Sabha enjoys equal powers with the Lok Sabha.
– Option A is incorrect: Rajya Sabha has exclusive special power under Article 312 to initiate a resolution creating new All India Services by a two-thirds majority.
– Option C is incorrect: The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible solely to the Lok Sabha (Article 75(3)); a No-Confidence Motion can only be introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha.
– Option D is incorrect: Cut motions on budget demands can only be moved and voted upon in the Lok Sabha.
Hence, the correct option is Option B.
