Absolute majority is the condition when the bill / resolution is supported by 50% of the total seats of the house.For example:There are 545 seats in Lok Sabha. If a resolution is passed with the support of 273 members (50% of total seats), it is said to be passed by absolute majority.Imp point - Absolute majority should not be confused with simple majority.
