Explanation:

No-Confidence Motion: Article 75 of the Constitution says that the council of ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha.
It means that the ministry stays in office so long as it enjoys confidence of the majority of the members of the Lok Sabha. In other words, the Lok Sabha can remove the ministry from office by passing a no-confidence motion.There is no mention of No Confidence Motion in the constitution but it is mentioned in the rules and procedures of Lok Sabha.
The motion needs the support of 50 members to be admitted.

If a no confidence motion has been introduced in the house, another one can be initiated not before the period of six months
