Answer 1

Answer:

D. Rajya Sabha and Legislative Councils can only make recommendations within 14 days

• Article 110 defines a Money Bill at the Union level, while Article 199 defines it at the State level.

• A Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha (at the Centre) or the Legislative Assembly (in states) on the recommendation of the President or the Governor, respectively.

• These bills cannot be introduced in the Rajya Sabha or the State Legislative Council.
