Broad-Based National Government Stability Premium

A government achieving at least 5% of seats from each Revenue Zone qualifies as a "Broad-Based National Government" and receives one benefit: no no-confidence motion for the first 24 months of term.

All governments — qualifying or not — are subject to the constructive no-confidence requirement: any no-confidence motion must simultaneously name an alternative PM commanding a Lok Sabha majority. Germany's Konstruktives Misstrauensvotum has been used only twice in 75 years and is the empirical case for stability without preventing democratic removal.

No government has diminished constitutional authority for failing to qualify. The premium is purely a stability benefit for broad representation — a positive incentive without creating a constitutionally vulnerable category of "lesser" governments that would invite immediate Supreme Court challenge on separation-of-powers grounds.
