Which one of the following statements about 'Motions' in the Parliament of India is correct ?

In the Indian parliamentary system, the Rajya Sabha is not empowered to entertain a No-Confidence Motion because the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible only to the Lok Sabha under Article 75(3) of the Constitution [1]. A No-Confidence Motion can only be moved against the entire Council of Ministers, not against an individual minister [1]. Unlike a Censure Motion, which must state specific reasons or charges for its adoption, a No-Confidence Motion does not require the grounds to be set out in the Lok Sabha [1]. While a Censure Motion can be directed at an individual minister or a group to rebuke specific policies, a No-Confidence Motion is a broader tool used to test the House's overall confidence in the government [2]. Therefore, statement 3 is the only correct assertion regarding parliamentary motions.
