The Rajya Sabha can delay a Money Bill for a maximum period of:
-
A.
14 days
-
B.
1 month
-
C.
3 months
-
D.
6 months
Correct Answer:
A. 14 days
Explanation:
According to Article 109 of the Constitution of India, the Rajya Sabha has a restricted role regarding Money Bills and can delay their enactment for a maximum of 14 days. Once a Money Bill is passed by the Lok Sabha, it is transmitted to the Rajya Sabha for its recommendations. The Rajya Sabha must return the bill within this 14-day window; otherwise, the bill is automatically deemed to have been passed by both Houses in the original form approved by the Lok Sabha. While the Rajya Sabha can suggest amendments, the Lok Sabha is not obligated to accept them, ensuring the lower house maintains primary authority over financial legislation.
