Censure motion can be moved against the Council of Ministers or an individual minister for their failure of commission or omission. Whereas a motion of no-confidence need not specify any grounds on which it is based, a Censure Motion must set out the grounds or charges on which it is based and is moved for specific purpose for censuring the government for certain policies and actions.
A motion of no-confidence once admitted has to be taken up within ten days of the leave being granted. No leave of the House is required to move a Censure motion.
Rajya Sabha is not empowered to entertain a motion of no-confidence because the government is collectively responsible under the Constitution only to the directly elected Lok Sabha. A censure motion can be moved in Lok Sabha or in a state assembly
