Does the joint sitting process change the constitutional status of the bill in any way?
Yes, the joint sitting process changes the constitutional status of the bill in a certain way. If the Bill, with such amendments, if any, as are agreed to in joint sitting, is passed by a majority of the total number of members of both Houses present and voting at the joint sitting, it shall be deemed for the purposes of this Constitution to have been passed by both Houses (as per clause 4).
