Ordinance is passed when the matter is urgent by the Elected Party and an Act is legislation passed when the Parliament or Assembly is sitting, where a bBill is passed and sent for assent of President.

Act when passed through an Ordinance has the same value as any other Act.

ordinance is paased when the Parliament is not in seesion and life of the ordinance is six months only but it could be extended for any number of times by the Parliamnet. an act and an ordinance has the same legal enforceabilty.

an ordinance can be made an act after going through the procedure of discusions and assents so required.

there has been several instances where an ordinance is stretched for a long period of time without converting into an act.
