What special procedures apply to Money Bills?
The special procedures that apply to Money Bills are:

1. Definition of "Money Bills" - A Bill is considered a Money Bill if it contains provisions dealing with all or any of the following matters: the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of any tax; the borrowing of money by the Government; the custody of the Consolidated Fund or the Contingency Fund of India, the payment into or withdrawal from those Funds of moneys; the appropriation of moneys out of the Consolidated Fund of India; the declaring of any expenditure to be expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund of India or the increasing of the amount of any such expenditure.

2. Procedure in Parliament - A Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha, and it cannot be introduced in the Rajya Sabha first. Once a Money Bill is passed by the Lok Sabha, it must be sent to the Rajya Sabha for their recommendations within 14 days from the date of receipt. The Rajya Sabha has a maximum of 14 days to make its recommendations. If the Rajya Sabha does not return the Bill with recommendations within that time, the Bill is considered passed in the form it was sent by the Lok Sabha.

3. Assent to Bills - After both Houses have agreed upon the provisions of a Money Bill, or if the Rajya Sabha does not make any recommendations, the Bill is sent to the President for his assent. The President must give his assent within 15 days from the date of receipt of the Bill. Once the President gives his assent, the Bill becomes an Act and comes into force on a date specified in the Act or on such date as may be appointed by the President.

4. Time limit for discussion - In case of a Money Bill, there is no requirement for any discussion or debate on the Bill in either House of Parliament. The Bill can be taken up for consideration and passed by each House without any delay.
