 1) Absolute Majority
  
  2) Simple Majority

  3) Effective Majority

  4) Special Majority 


1) Absolute Majority : More than 50 % of the total strength of the house. For Eg : Loksabha                                       has 545 members , so Absolute Majority would be 273 ( more than                                         50 % ) .
                                     It is used in general election for formation of government at centre                                         and state legislatures.


2) Simple Majority :  More than 50 % of present and voting . For eg there are 545 members                                     in loksabha , only 300 members have attended the parliament . Only                                       250 members would like to vote. Remaining 50 members don't want                                       to vote.  If a bill has to pass in Simple Majority , it must have 126                                           votes that is more than  50 % of  members present and voting.
                                   It can be used in :

3) Effective Majority : More than 50% of the effective strength of the house. Effective                                                strength is calculated as subtraction of vacant seats from total                                                  strength of the house. For eg : Loksabha has total strength of 545                                            members , if there are 15 vacant seats then effective strength is                                                545- 15= 530.
