- It mandates that Parliament should meet at least twice a year, and the gap between two sessions should not exceed six months.
Convening of Sessions: The power to call for a session of Parliament in India lies with the government.
- This decision is made by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, which is then formalised by the President, who summons the MPs for a session.
