If the Rajya Sabha (Council) insists on amendments to which the Lok Sabha (House) has disagreed and returns the Bill with this message, the Houses are deemed to have finally disagreed as to the amendment or amendments.
Article 108(1) of the Constitution outlines the situations where a disagreement between the two Houses on a Bill is deemed to have arisen, potentially leading to a joint sitting. One such situation is when “the Houses have finally disagreed as to the amendments to be made in the Bill”. The scenario described in the question precisely fits this definition of disagreement.
When a Bill passed by one House is amended by the other, the Bill as amended is returned to the first House. If the first House disagrees with the amendments, it may return the Bill to the second House with a message stating its disagreement. If the second House insists on its amendments despite the disagreement, this constitutes a final disagreement between the Houses, triggering the possibility of a joint sitting convened by the President.
