What is the special procedure in respect of Money Bills in the Indian Parliament?
Article 109 of the Indian Constitution outlines the special procedure in respect of Money Bills. A Money Bill cannot be introduced in the Council of States. After a Money Bill has been passed by the House of the People, it is transmitted to the Council of States for its recommendations. The Council of States must return the Bill to the House of the People with its recommendations within 14 days from the date of receipt. The House of the People may accept or reject the recommendations of the Council of States. If the House of the People accepts the Council's recommendations, the Money Bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses with the recommended amendments. If the House of the People does not accept the recommendations, the Money Bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses in the form in which it was passed by the House of the People. If the Council of States does not return the Money Bill within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both Houses in the form in which it was passed by the House of the People.
