Article 368 of Indian constitution require that constitution of India can be amended by both houses of parliament by 2/3 majority(special majority) . In case of disagreement between both houses, there is no provision to summon a joint session of parliament.

In a joint sitting, any new amendment cannot be proposed in the bill, excepting those which have been passed by one House and refused by the other.

President can summon a joint sitting unless the bill had elapsed because of the Lok Sabha’s dissolution.
