<P> When a bill has been passed , it is sent to the President for his approval per Article 111 . The President can assent or withhold his assent to a bill or he can return a bill , other than a money bill which is recommended by president himself to the houses . However Article 255 says that prior recommendation of president or governor of a state wherever stipulated is not compulsory for an Act of parliament or of the legislature of a State but the final consent of president or governor of a state is mandatory . President may be of view that a particular bill passed under the legislative powers of parliament is violating the constitution , he can send back the bill with his recommendation to pass the bill under the constituent powers of parliament following the Article 368 procedure . President shall not withhold constitutional amendment bill duly passed by parliament per Article 368 . If the President gives his assent , the bill is published in The Gazette of India and becomes an Act from the date of his assent . If he withholds his assent , the bill is dropped , which is known as absolute veto . The President can exercise absolute veto on aid and advice of council of ministers per Article 111 and Article 74 . The president may also effectively withhold his assent as per his own discretion , which is known as pocket veto . The pocket veto has only been exercised once by President Zail Singh in 1986 , over the postal act where the government wanted to open postal letters without warrant by amending the Indian Post Office Act , 1898 . If the president returns it for reconsideration , the Parliament must do so , but if it is passed again and returned to him , he must give his assent to it . If parliament is not happy with the president for not assenting a bill passed by it under its legislative powers , the bill can be modified as a constitutional amendment bill and passed under its constituent powers for compelling the president to give assent . In case a constitutional amendment act is violating the basic structure of the constitution , constitutional bench of Supreme Court would quash the act . When parliament is of the view that the actions of the president are violating the constitution , impeachment proceedings against president could be taken up to remove him under Article 61 where at least two - thirds of total membership of each house of parliament should vote in favour of the impeachment when charges against the president are found valid in an investigation . </P>
