In a tweet today, Congress's Manish Tewari cited a rule-book that suggests the opposite, and urged Speaker Om Birla to "start the discussion on the No confidence motion without let or demur".
"It is a travesty to pass bills when the No confidence is still pending," he added.
The Speaker has indicated that traditionally, the date for debate and discussion is decided after consulting all parties and legislative business is not restricted in the intervening period.
