Which one of the following Bills is not introduced in Rajya Sabha?a)Am...
Introduction:
In the Indian parliamentary system, there are two houses of Parliament - the Lok Sabha (Lower House) and the Rajya Sabha (Upper House). Both houses play a crucial role in the legislative process. Bills can be introduced in either house, but there are certain types of bills that are exclusively introduced in one house and not the other. One such bill is the Money Bill, which is not introduced in the Rajya Sabha.
Explanation:
1. Amendment Bill:
- An Amendment Bill is a proposed legislation that seeks to make changes or modifications to an existing law.
- This type of bill can be introduced in either house of Parliament, i.e., the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.
- After being introduced and passed in one house, it is then sent to the other house for consideration and approval.
- If both houses pass the bill with or without amendments, it is sent to the President for assent and becomes law.
2. Ordinary Bill:
- An Ordinary Bill refers to a bill that does not fall under the categories of Money Bill or Constitutional Amendment Bill.
- Similar to an Amendment Bill, an Ordinary Bill can be introduced in either house of Parliament.
- After being introduced and passed in one house, it is sent to the other house for consideration and approval.
- If both houses pass the bill with or without amendments, it is sent to the President for assent and becomes law.
3. Money Bill:
- A Money Bill is a type of bill that deals with financial matters, such as taxation, government borrowing, expenditure, etc.
- According to Article 110 of the Indian Constitution, a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and not the Rajya Sabha.
- Once introduced in the Lok Sabha, the bill is passed by that house and then sent to the Rajya Sabha for its recommendations.
- The Rajya Sabha has limited powers in relation to a Money Bill. It can suggest amendments, but it cannot reject or amend the bill itself.
- If the Rajya Sabha fails to return the bill within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both houses.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while Amendment Bills and Ordinary Bills can be introduced in both houses of Parliament, a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and not the Rajya Sabha. The Rajya Sabha's role in relation to a Money Bill is limited to providing recommendations, rather than actively participating in the passage of the bill.
