No-Confidence Motion

Article 75 of the Constitution - Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha.
This means that the ministry stays in office as long as it enjoys the confidence of the lower house.
This effectively gives power to the Lok Sabha to remove the ministry from the office by passing No-confidence motion.
Therefore, it has been used as a tool for ascertaining the confidence of Lok Sabha in the council of ministers by proving their majority on the floor of the House.
Lately, it has been used as a tool by the opposition to force the ruling party into a discussion in the House on significant issues.
The term 'No-confidence' Motion is not mentioned in the Constitution of India but mentioned in the Rules of Lok Sabha (Rule 198).
Any member of the Lok Sabha can move the no-trust motion, provided it has the support of at least 50 members of the House
The motion can be moved only in the Lok Sabha and not in Rajya Sabha.
