The government may resign only if it fails to pass the budget in the Parliament. Failure in passing regular public bills is not considered a defeat of the government. The passing of a no-confidence motion does. Prime Minister can be a member of any house. It is not a convention that he must be from the lower house; neither has it been codified. Statement 3 is more of a political tool rather than a codified convention.

Explanation:
None of the given conventions have been codified into rules, regulations, laws, or provisions. Let's analyze each convention individually:
1. Government resigns if it fails to enact a public bill in Parliament:
This convention states that if the government fails to pass a public bill in Parliament, it should resign. However, this convention is not codified into any specific rule or law. The resignation of the government in such cases is a political decision rather than a legal requirement. There is no provision in the Constitution or any other legislation that mandates the government to resign in such situations. Therefore, convention 1 is not codified.
2. Prime Minister is a member of Lok Sabha:
The convention that the Prime Minister must be a member of the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament) is widely followed in India. However, it is not explicitly mentioned in any law or provision. The Constitution of India only requires that the Prime Minister should be appointed by the President and enjoy the confidence of the Lok Sabha. It does not specify the requirement of the Prime Minister being a member of the Lok Sabha. Therefore, convention 2 is not codified.
3. The Council of Ministers reflects the socioeconomic diversity of India:
While it is desirable for the Council of Ministers to reflect the socioeconomic diversity of India, this convention is also not codified into any specific rule or law. The appointment of Ministers is a discretionary power of the Prime Minister, and there are no legal provisions that mandate the representation of different socioeconomic backgrounds in the Council of Ministers. Therefore, convention 3 is not codified.
In conclusion, none of the given conventions have been codified into rules, regulations, laws, or provisions. They are followed as political customs and practices rather than legally binding requirements.
