Explanation:

Under the Rules of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the Speaker and the Chairman can nominate from amongst the members a panel of chairpersons and vice-chairpersons respectively.
Any one of them can preside over the House in the absence of the Chairman or the Deputy Chairman.
It must be emphasised here that a member of the panel of vice-chairpersons cannot preside over the House, when the office of the Chairman or the Deputy Chairman is vacant.
During such time, the Chairman’s duties are to be performed by such member of the House as the president may appoint for the purpose. The elections are held, as soon as possible, to fill the vacant posts.
