The Government Bill means a bill introduced by a

In the Indian parliamentary system, bills are categorized based on who introduces them. A Government Bill (also known as a Public Bill) is a legislative proposal introduced by a Minister [c4, t2, t5]. Conversely, a bill introduced by any Member of Parliament (MP) who is not a minister is termed a Private Member's Bill [t2, t8]. While specific types of bills, such as Money Bills, can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha [c1, c5], general Government Bills can be introduced in either House of Parliament—the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha—by a Minister [t7, t8, t10]. The distinction lies solely in the status of the member (Minister vs. Non-Minister) rather than the specific House, as Ministers have the right to participate in proceedings and introduce legislation in either House, regardless of which House they are a member of.
