Identify the correct sequence of the procedure in respect of the Money Bill :

The budgetary process in the Indian Parliament follows a specific sequential order. After the presentation and general discussion of the budget, the House proceeds to the 'Voting of Demands for Grants' [c5]. During this stage, members can move 'Cut Motions' to reduce the amount of a demand, serving as a tool for parliamentary control over the executive [t1]. Once the demands are voted upon, the 'Vote on Account' is typically passed to authorize expenditure for a part of the financial year (usually two months) to keep the government functioning until the full budget is enacted [c1, t1]. Finally, the 'Appropriation Bill' is introduced and passed to provide legal authority for the withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund of India for the entire year's expenditure [c5, t1]. Thus, the correct sequence is Voting of grants, Cut motions, Vote on accounts, and Appropriation bill.
