Which one of the following is not a provision related to a Money Bill ?

Article 110 of the Constitution of India defines a Money Bill as one containing only provisions related to specific financial matters. These include the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration, or regulation of any tax [1], the regulation of government borrowing [1], and the custody or appropriation of moneys from the Consolidated Fund of India or the Contingency Fund of India [1]. However, Article 110(2) explicitly clarifies that a bill is not deemed a Money Bill simply because it provides for the imposition of fines or other pecuniary penalties, or the demand for fees for licenses or services. Crucially, it also excludes bills providing for the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration, or regulation of any tax by any local authority or body for local purposes. Therefore, option 3 is not a provision related to a Money Bill under the constitutional definition.
