It is said there is nothing called a rust vote or a confidence motion in the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha. How then did such an exercise come into being?
The Rules of the House are only rules of procedure, they do not — and cannot — deal with substantive requirements of the Constitution. A trust vote would generally be by way of a motion (of confidence or no confidence as the case may be). If the motion (for confidence) is carried, it is called a trust vote in common parlance. There are no express provisions on how the Westminster form of democracy is to run — it is based on convention and good sense. That is how these conventions have come into being.
