Which among the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Only 1

Lok Sabha Speaker / Deputy speaker or Rajya Sabha Chairman / Deputy Chairman. Adjournment does not affect any kind of the bills. Prorogation not only terminates the sitting but also a session of the house. Prorogation is done by India's President. It also does not affect the bills.
