Only those financial bills which contain provisions exclusively on matters listed in article 110 of the constitution are called Money Bills.
It results in imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of any tax at union or state level but NOT at local level.
Thus, money bills exist in Parliament and State legislature only. If a financial bill results in imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation at local level by a local body, it is not considered to be a money bill.
It results in regulation of borrowing of money or results in any guarantee by Government of India.
A money bill can be introduced / originated only in Lok Sabha {or in legislative assembly in case of bicameral legislature in states}.
A money bill can be introduced only on prior recommendations of the President {or governor in case of state}
A money bill can be a government bill only. No private bill can be a money bill.
Once a money bill is passed in Lok Sabha, it is transmitted to Rajya Sabha for its consideration. But Rajya Sabha has limited powers in this context. It can neither reject nor amend the money bill. It can make only recommendations and has to return the bill with or without recommendations to Lok Sabha in 14 days.
The Lok Sabha may or may not accept the recommendations of Rajya Sabha. Whether or not accepted those recommendations, thus returned bill is considered passed in both houses. If Rajya Sabha does not even return the bill in 14 days, it is considered passed in both houses.
President can withhold assent to money bill but cannot return it for reconsideration of the Lok Sabha.Incorrect
