– Short notice questions deal with matters of urgent public importance.
– They can be asked with a notice period of less than ten days.
– Admissibility requires the consent of the Minister concerned.
– Short notice questions are listed separately and taken up after the Question Hour.
Question Hour is the first hour of a sitting in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, dedicated to asking and answering questions. Questions asked during this hour usually require a minimum notice period (e.g., 10 days for starred/unstarred questions). Short notice questions are a separate category meant for urgent matters, dealt with outside the standard Question Hour slot, subject to the Minister’s agreement.
