A Money Bill (Article 110) cannot be subjected to a joint sitting because the Lok Sabha has overriding powers in financial matters, and the Rajya Sabha’s role is largely advisory; it must return a Money Bill within 14 days with or without recommendations. The Lok Sabha can accept or reject these recommendations.
A Constitutional Amendment Bill (Article 368) requires to be passed separately by each House by a special majority (a majority of the total membership of the House and a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of that House present and voting). There is no provision for a joint sitting to pass a Constitutional Amendment Bill.
