Bills have to pass through various stages before they are finally passed. These stages are:

1. First is the stage of introduction. Money bills can be introduced only in Lok Sabha while ordinary bills can be introduced in either of the two houses of the Parliament.
2. During the second stage, the bill is discussed clause by clause.
3. During the third stage, the bill is put to vote and if passed by a simple majority of members present (arid voting), it is sent to the other house, where the same procedure is followed.
4. However, if there is disagreement between the two houses, the final decisions is taken in a joint session of both the houses where the bill is passed by a majority of members of both the houses present and voting.
5. Finally, when both the houses pass the bill, it is sent to the president for his/her assent. After getting the president's assent the bill becomes a law or an act.
