Explanation:

The President of India is empowered to summon each House of Parliament from time to time. The maximum gap between two sessions of Parliament cannot be more than six months. That means the Parliament should meet at least twice a year.

• A ‘session’ of Parliament is the period between the first sitting of a House and its prorogation.

There are usually three sessions in a year, viz,

• Budget Session (February to May)
• Monsoon Session (July to September)
• Winter Session (November to December)

The period between the prorogation of a House and its reassembly in a new session is called ‘recess’.

Hence both statements are correct.
