Consider the following statements :
1. The Rajya Sabha has no power either to reject or to amend a Money Bill.
2. The Rajya Sabha cannot vote on the Demands for Grants.
3. The Rajya Sabha cannot discuss the Annual Financial Statement.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
-
A.
1 only
-
B.
1 and 2 only
-
C.
2 and 3 only
-
D.
1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer:
B. 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
The correct assessment of the statements is as follows:
The Rajya Sabha has no power to reject or amend a Money Bill. It can only make recommendations to the Lok Sabha, and must return the Money Bill to the Lok Sabha within 14 days. The Lok Sabha may accept or reject any recommendations. This makes statement 1 correct.
The Rajya Sabha cannot vote on the Demands for Grants, which are exclusive to the Lok Sabha. This makes statement 2 correct.
The Rajya Sabha can discuss the Annual Financial Statement (the budget), but it cannot vote on it. Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is (b) 1 and 2 only.
