Answer 1

Answer:

A. Two

A money bill passed by the Lok Sabha can be held up by the Rajya Sabha for a maximum of 14 days. A money bill is a bill that deals with matters such as the imposition, abolition, or regulation of taxes, the borrowing of money by the Union government, or the custody of the Consolidated Fund of India. Only a minister can introduce a money bill in the Lok Sabha, and only on the recommendation of the President.
