Bills & Laws:
You would have seen many rules/laws - whether it may be deciding on the amount of tax that you would have to pay, percentage of reservation for college seats or maybe laws about nuclear liability ? .. so how do these laws come about ?
All laws start their life as bills which are proposed by MP's(Private bill) or union government (Government bill) in center, eventually after getting approved in the parliament & seal of president they become laws. The situation is same for state governments - its introduced by MLA's and should be approved by Vidhana sabha and stamped by the Governor.
A bill passes through five stages before it becomes a law, this happens in both houses(Loksabha & rajyasabha).
1.First reading
2.Second reading
3.Committee Stage
4.Report stage
5.Third reading
