The Secretariat compiles words and expressions that are periodically deemed unparliamentary by the Chair in various legislative bodies and the Parliament. However, the Lok Sabha Speaker and the Rajya Sabha Chairman will have the last word in expunging them.

Some of these words have been taken and referenced from some Commonwealth Parliaments in 2020. Moreover, these words were deemed unparliamentary in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and the state legislature of India in 2021.
However, it is important to note that certain words might not seem unparliamentary unless they are used or read in a certain context with the other terms used during legislative sessions.
