Resolutions come under ‘substantive motions’ (there are 3 kinds of motions – substantive, substitute and subsidiary motions). Substantive motion is a self contained independent proposal submitted for the approval of the House and drafted in such a way as to be capable of expressing a decision of the House.

Other examples of substantive motions are motion of no confidence, motions for election or removal of Speaker, Deputy Speaker etc.

The resolution passed by parliament come under ‘government resolutions’.

What is important is whether the standing committee accepts the resolution or not. As the resolution is not voted upon, it may not be binding on the government. This might be an excuse for the government if standing committee doesn’t incorporate recommendations of the resolution.
