If the bill is to be made into act, both the houses must accept it by 2 /3rds of the members. If either of the house (either Upper House, or Lower ) don't accept it, it will not be considered.

If a bill is not passed by the House, it dies and does not become law. It can be re-introduced at a later date, possibly after some changes.

A conference committee is called, and a compromise bill is created. This must then be approved by both the House and the Senate before it goes to the President.
