A No-Confidence Motion is a motion moved in the Lok Sabha to express lack of confidence in the Council of Ministers. If the motion is passed by a majority of the members present and voting, the Council of Ministers must resign. This is a crucial mechanism through which the Lok Sabha exercises control over the executive. A Confidence Motion is moved by the government to prove its majority. A Censure Motion expresses strong disapproval but does not necessarily lead to resignation. An Adjournment Motion is for discussing urgent public importance.
