What is the process of amending the Indian constitution?

The process of amending the Indian Constitution is outlined in Article 368. In order to amend the Constitution, a bill must be introduced in either house of Parliament. The bill must then be passed by a majority of at least two-thirds of the members present and voting. After the bill is passed in one house, it is sent to the other house where it must be passed by a similar majority. If both houses agree on the amendments, the bill is sent to the President for assent. Once the President gives assent, the amendment is incorporated into the Constitution. However, certain provisions of the Constitution, such as the federal structure, can only be amended if the amendment is ratified by at least half of the state legislatures. This process ensures that amendments to the Indian Constitution are subject to thorough discussion and debate before being implemented.
