The power to summon a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament is vested in the President of India.
Article 108 of the Constitution provides for a joint sitting of both Houses in certain cases of disagreement between the two Houses on a Bill. The President may, unless the Bill has elapsed by reason of a dissolution of the House of the People, notify to the Houses by message or by public notification his intention to summon them to meet in a joint sitting for the purpose of deliberating and voting on the Bill.
