The Lok Sabha invoked the guillotine to clear the Demands for Grants for the 2026–27 financial year.
- The guillotine is a parliamentary device to fast-track approval of financial demands within limited time.
- The Speaker applies it when the time allotted for discussion ends while many demands are still pending.
- All remaining Demands for Grants are then put to vote together, without further debate.
- It is used mainly during the Union Budget process for approving ministry-wise expenditure.
