Rajya Sabha has equal powers with Lok Sabha in

Under Article 368, a Constitutional amendment Bill must be passed by each House separately by a special majority. Without both Houses agreeing, it cannot reach the President. So B is correct.

• A is wrong: Under Article 312, Rajya Sabha has a special power. If it passes a resolution by two-thirds of members present and voting, Parliament may create new All India Services. Lok Sabha has no such role, so this is an exclusive upper-house privilege, not equality.
• C is wrong: The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha (Article 75). Only the Lok Sabha can remove the government through a no-confidence motion.
• D is wrong: Cut motions are moved on demands for grants, which are voted only in the Lok Sabha (Article 113). Rajya Sabha has no vote on these demands.

Core concept: bicameralism and the division of powers between the two Houses. Mains angle: the Rajya Sabha is a strong House for constitutional amendments and federal matters but weak on money and government accountability, a useful point for questions on federalism and parliamentary reform.

Trap: students pick A because Rajya Sabha initiates the All India Services resolution and assume this is shared power, forgetting it is a special power that Lok Sabha does not share.
