The "First Stage" constitutes discussion on the principles of the Bill and its provisions generally on any of the following motions - that the Bill be taken into consideration; or that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee of the House; or that the Bill be referred to a Joint Committee of the Houses with the concurrence of the other House; or that the Bill be circulated for the purpose of eliciting opinion thereon.
The "Second Stage" constitutes the clause by clause consideration of the Bill, as introduced in the House or as reported by a Select or Joint Committee, as the case may be. In this case the Second Reading refers to the motion i that the Bill, as passed by Rajya Sabha, be taken into consideration; or ii that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee if the Bill has not already been referred to a Joint Committee of the Houses.
The Third Reading refers to the discussion on the motion that the Bill or the Bill, as amended, be passed. Almost similar procedure is followed in Rajya Sabha in respect of Bills introduced in that House.
