Consider the following statements regarding the legislative procedures and powers of the Houses of the Indian Parliament under the Constitution of India:
1. A resolution authorizing Parliament to legislate on a matter listed in the State List in the national interest under Article 249 must be passed by the Rajya Sabha by a simple majority of members present and voting.
2. A Money Bill governed by Article 110 can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha and requires the prior recommendation of the President.
3. The Rajya Sabha has no power to amend or reject a Financial Bill (Type I) introduced under Article 117(1), and must return it to the Lok Sabha within fourteen days.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
- 2 onlyCevap
- B1 and 2 only
- C2 and 3 only
- D1, 2 and 3
Cevap
Only statement 2 is correct.
Only statement 2 accurately reflects constitutional law. Article 109(1) explicitly provides that a Money Bill shall not be introduced in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), and Article 117(1) prescribes that it shall be introduced only on the recommendation of the President. Statement 1 is erroneous because Article 249 mandates a special majority of two-thirds of members present and voting in the Rajya Sabha. Statement 3 is erroneous because the 14-day return limitation and lack of power to amend or reject apply strictly to Money Bills, whereas a Financial Bill (Type I) under Article 117(1) can be amended or rejected by the Rajya Sabha like any ordinary bill.
