Unlike censure motion, a no-confidence motion does not require any specific ground.
Once admitted in the House, it takes precedence over all the pending business of the House. No conditions of admissibility of a motion of no-confidence are laid down in the Rules, except that once a decision, after discussion, is taken by the House on such a motion, no motion raising an identical matter can be moved in the same session.
