71st B.P.S.C. (Pre) 2025

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: (a) It is different from the No-confidence motion or (d) Permission of the House is not essential to present it

Explanation

There is a clear difference between a Censure Motion and a No-Confidence Motion in terms of their objective and procedure. In a Censure Motion, stating reasons is mandatory. Also, separate “Leave of the House” is not required for a Censure Motion. Factually, both (a) and (d) are correct. That is why the Bihar Public Service Commission deleted this question from evaluation.
