EMERGENCY PROVISIONS

Emergency provisions were made in Constitution to safeguard and protect the security, integrity and stability of

the country and effective functioning of State Governments.

There are 3 types of emergencies.

1. National Emergency (Article 352)

Declared by the President of India if he is satisfied that the situation is very

grave and the security of India or any part thereof is threatened or is likely to

be threatened either by war or by armed rebellion within the country.

Proclamation of emergency has to be approved by both the Houses of Parliament by absolute majority of the

total membership of the Houses as well as 2/3 majority of members present and voting within one month.

In case the Lok Sabha stands dissolved at the time of proclamation of emergency or is not in session, it has to be

approved by the Rajya Sabha within one month and later on by the Lok Sabha also within one month of its next

session.

Once approved by the Parliament, the emergency remains in force for a period of 6 months from the date of

proclamation.

In case it is to be extended beyond 6 months, another prior resolution has to be passed by the Parliament.

National Emergency has been declared in our country 3 times

1. 26 October 1962 - 10 January 1968 (When China attacked our borders in the North East)

2. 3 December 1971 - 21 March 1977 (Second India- Pakistan War) - threatened by external aggression

3. 25 June 1975 - 21 March 1977 (Internal Emergency by Indira Gandhi) - threatened by internal disturbances

Effects

The federal form of the Constitution changes into unitary. The authority of the Centre increases and

the Parliament assumes the power to make laws for the entire country.

The President can issue directions to the states as to the manner in which the executive power of the

states is to be exercised.

During this period, the Lok Sabha can extend its tenure by a period of one year at a time. But the

same cannot be extended beyond six months after the proclamation ceases to operate.

The tenure of State Assemblies can also be extended in the same manner.

The Fundamental Rights under Article 19 automatically suspended. But according to the 44th

Amendment, Freedoms listed in Article 19 can be suspended only in case of proclamation on the

ground of war or external aggression.

2. State Emergency (President’s Rule) ( Article 356)

The President may issue a proclamation to impose emergency in a state if he is satisfied on receipt of a report

from the Governor of the State.

vest all or any of those functions with the Governor or any other executive authority.

declare a state of Financial Emergency.

It must be approved by both Houses of Parliament within two months.

Effects

The Union Government may give direction to any of the States regarding financial matters.

The President may ask the States to reduce the salaries and allowances of all or any class of persons

in government service.

The President may ask the States to reserve all the money bills for the consideration of the Parliament
