How a Bill Becomes a Law in India

🧠 Remember it Think "I-L-R-P-A": Introduced → Lok Sabha → Rajya Sabha → President → Act. A bill must pass BOTH Houses before it can become law.

🌏 In real life The Right to Education (RTE) Act, which made free schooling a right for children aged 6–14, travelled exactly this path — debated and passed by both Houses of Parliament, then signed by the President.

📝 Quick notes A BILL is a proposed law. Most bills are introduced by a minister (a Government Bill). The bill is debated and voted on in the LOK SABHA (readings + committee stage). If passed, it goes to the RAJYA SABHA, where it is again debated and voted on. After BOTH Houses pass it, the bill goes to the PRESIDENT for assent (signature).

🎯 Test yourself Where does a bill go after it is passed by the Lok Sabha? To the Rajya Sabha, where it is debated and voted on again.
