Money Bills & Financial Bills in Indian Parliament GK Questions & Answers
The legislative procedure governing financial measures in the Indian Parliament is demarcated by constitutional provisions under Articles 109, 110, and 117. Article 110(1) defines a Money Bill as one containing exclusively provisions dealing with the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration, or regulation of taxes, regulation of government borrowing, and the custody of the Consolidated Fund of India or the Contingency Fund of India. Article 109 establishes an asymmetrical bicameral procedure: a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha upon prior presidential recommendation under Article 117(1). The Rajya Sabha possesses no power to reject or amend a Money Bill; it must return the bill within fourteen days with or without recommendations, which the Lok Sabha may accept or decline. Article 110(3) designates the decision of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha as final regarding whether a bill constitutes a Money Bill. Financial Bills are divided into two categories under Article 117: Financial Bill Category I under Article 117(1) contains matters specified in Article 110 alongside general legislation, whereas Financial Bill Category II under Article 117(3) involves expenditure from the Consolidated Fund without containing Article 110 matters. While joint sittings under Article 108 are barred for Money Bills, they remain applicable to Financial Bills.
