Censure Motion vs No Confidence Motion

In case of censure motion, reasons must be stated for its adoption in the Lok Sabha while in case of motion of no confidence no such reasons for its adoption are required to be stated in the Lok Sabha.
Censure motion can be moved against an individual minister or a group of ministers or the entire council of ministers, whereas No confidence motion can only be moved against the entire council of ministers.
If Censure motion is passed in the Lok Sabha, the council of ministers need not resign from the office, while in case of motion of no confidence, the council of minister must resign from office if the motion is passed.
