As per Rule 198 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, a motion expressing want of confidence in the Council of Ministers may be made. This motion requires the leave of the House. To seek leave, the member wishing to move the motion must give a written notice of the motion before the commencement of the sitting on that day. When the motion is called, the Speaker asks if the member has the leave of the House. For the leave to be granted, it must be supported by not less than 50 members rising in their places.

A minimum of 50 members must support the request to introduce a No-Confidence Motion in the Lok Sabha.

If the leave is granted, the motion is admitted and a date is fixed for discussion. If the No-Confidence Motion is passed by the Lok Sabha, the Council of Ministers must resign. There is no provision for a No-Confidence Motion in the Rajya Sabha.
