# Do Governors need a clearer deadline for acting on state bills?

When a state legislature passes a bill, how long should a Governor be able to wait before taking action? Delays can leave laws in limbo and turn a constitutional question into a political dispute.

I’m curious whether India needs a clearer, consistent deadline for **assent to state bills**, or whether the circumstances of each bill make a fixed time limit impractical. How should the constitutional text and court rulings guide that debate?
