Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is option C because statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

Article 109 mentions special procedure in respect of Money Bills[1], making statement 1 correct. A money bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and a Money Bill shall not be introduced in the Council of States[3], confirming statement 2 is correct. The Rajya Sabha can either approve the bill or suggest changes but cannot reject it, as it cannot reject or [4]amend a money bill and can only make recommendations[5], making statement 3 correct.

However, statement 4 is incorrect. The Lok Sabha can either accept or reject all or any of the recommendations of the Rajya Sabha[5], and amendments to the bill suggested by Rajya Sabha may or may not be accepted by the Lok Sabha[6]. This means the Lok Sabha is not obligated to accept Rajya Sabha's suggestions. Therefore, only statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct, making option C the right answer.

“His/ her decision in this regard cannot be questioned in any court of law or in either House of Parliament or even the President. When a money bill is transmitted to the Rajya Sabha for recommendation and presented to the President for assent, the Speaker endorses it as a money bill. The Constitution lays down a special procedure for the passing of money bills in the Parliament. A money bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and that top on the recommendation of the President. Every such bill is considered to be a government bill and can be introduced only by a minister.”
Why this source?
  • Explicitly states the Constitution lays down a special procedure for passing Money Bills in Parliament.
  • Specifies introduction rules (only in Lok Sabha, on President's recommendation), showing procedural distinctness.
