Power difference b/w both the houses of Parliament:
1. Motions of no confidence against the government can be introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha. The Rajya Sabha has no power over such a motion, and hence no real power over the executive.
2. Money bills can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha, and upon being passed, are sent to the Rajya Sabha, where it can be deliberated on for up to 14 days. If not rejected by the Rajya Sabha, or 14 days lapse from the introduction of the bill in the Rajya Sabha without any action by the House, or recommendations made by the Rajya Sabha are not accepted by the Lok Sabha, the bill is considered passed.
3. Though the Constitution has placed both houses on the same footing in matters pertaining to non-financial (ordinary) bills, in reality it is the Lok Sabha's opinions that mostly prevails - due to its bigger numerical strength.
4. If the Lok Sabha is dissolved before or after the declaration of a National Emergency, the Rajya Sabha becomes the sole Parliament which cannot be dissolved.
