Question

In a bicameral system, how long can the Legislative Council delay an ordinary bill?

• A. 14 days
• B. 1 month
• C. 3 months
• D. 6 months

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3 months

• Bicameral Dynamics: In bicameral states, bills must pass both Houses. The Council can delay ordinary bills for up to 3 months (Article 197) and money bills for 14 days, but the Assembly’s decision prevails.
