Option 3 : Any financial bill as per requirements of Article 117

Option 3 is not the correct answer, i.e. Any financial bill as per the requirements of Article 117.

Money Bill:

  • Article 110 of the Indian Constitution lays the definition of Money Bill.
  • According to it, the bills pertaining to following matters are deemed  to be Money Bills:
    • Related to imposition, abolition or remission of taxes.
    • Borrowing by the government.
    • Matters pertaining to custody, withdrawal/appropriation from, payments to the Consolidated or Contingency funds of India.
    • Any matter incidental with above.
  • Money can be introduced only in Lok Sabha and not in Rajya Sabha and that too on the recommendation of the President.
  • The Rajya Sabha can neither amend nor reject the money bill, it can only make a recommendation about it which can either be accepted or rejected by the Lok Sabha.
  • The deciding authority for a bill to be a money bill or not lies with the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
  • The President can either approve or reject the bill, but he cannot return it to the Lok Sabha for its reconsideration.
  • Article 117 deals with the provisions related to Financial Bills.
