Explanation:

Prorogation
The presiding officer (Speaker or Chairman) declares the House adjourned sine die, when the business of a session is completed. Within the next few days, the President issues a notification for prorogation of the session. However, the President can also prorogue the House while in session.The specific differences between adjournment and prorogation are summarised in the following table.
Adjournment Prorogation
1 It only terminates a sitting and not a session of the House.It is done by presiding officer of the House.
2 It not only terminates a sitting but also a session of the House. It is done by the President of India.
3 It does not affect the bills or any other business pending before the House and the same can be resumed when the House meets again.
4 It also does not affect the bills or any other business pending before the House.
However, all pending notices (other than those for introducing bills) lapse on prorogation and fresh notices have to be given for the next session.
