• A Point of Order is a procedural issue raised by a member to seek clarification on whether the rules of the House are being followed.

• It can be raised in the middle of a debate to ensure the proper conduct of proceedings.

• The Speaker of the House decides on the Point of Order raised, based on parliamentary rules.

• The Point of Order is related to the interpretation of the rules and does not involve a discussion of the matter at hand.

• It helps in maintaining order and discipline in parliamentary proceedings.

• The raised point is addressed immediately by the Speaker or the Chairman.

• Calling Attention Motion – A motion raised to draw the attention of the House to a specific matter of urgent public importance, not related to parliamentary rules.

• Yielding a floor – Involves giving up the right to speak, usually to allow another member to speak, which is different from raising a Point of Order.
