What power does Rajya Sabha have with regard to Money Bills?

• A. It cannot reject it
• B. It can reject it
• C. It can withhold the Bill for 14 days to make recommendations
• D. It has no power regarding Money Bill

Hint:

Rajya Sabha’s power with respect to Money Bills is limited to a 14-day period, during which it can suggest changes but cannot reject or amend the Bill.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

As per Article 109 of the Indian Constitution, Rajya Sabha does not have the power to reject a Money Bill. However, it can withhold the Bill for a maximum of 14 days to make recommendations. After 14 days, the Lok Sabha can pass the Bill without considering the recommendations of Rajya Sabha.
