For how many days at most can the Vidhan Parishad hold a money bill passed by the Vidhan Sabha?
- A.Seven days
- B.Fourteen days
- C.Thirty days
- D.Six months
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, fourteen days. A money bill can be introduced only in the Vidhan Sabha and only on the recommendation of the Governor; once passed there, it goes to the Vidhan Parishad, which may discuss it and recommend changes but must return it within fourteen days, failing which it is deemed passed in the form the Vidhan Sabha approved. Option A is wrong because seven days appears in no provision of this kind. Option C is wrong because thirty days is not the limit here, although candidates often guess a round figure. Option D is wrong because six months is the period relating to an ordinary bill in a state legislature with two Houses, not a money bill. The upper house is deliberately kept weak in money matters so that supply is never blocked.
