Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

According to the Constitution of India, a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and specifically requires the prior recommendation of the President of India [c1, c2, t3]. This requirement is a key feature of the special procedure for passing Money Bills, as outlined in Article 117(1) and Article 110 [t6, t7]. While the Speaker of the Lok Sabha plays a crucial role in certifying whether a bill is a Money Bill, their decision is final regarding the bill's classification but is not the authority for the initial recommendation for introduction [c1, t3]. Furthermore, because Money Bills are considered government bills, they are introduced by a minister, but the constitutional mandate for the recommendation rests solely with the President [c1, t4]. The Rajya Sabha has limited powers, being restricted to making recommendations within 14 days, which the Lok Sabha may accept or reject [c3, t1].
