Difference between money bill and ordinary bill
A money bill is a bill that deals with the raising or spending of public money. An ordinary bill is a bill that deals with any other matter.
The main difference between a money bill and an ordinary bill is that a money bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha, while an ordinary bill can be introduced in either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.
Another difference is that a money bill can be introduced only after the President has given his assent to a motion for its introduction, while an ordinary bill can be introduced without such a motion.
A money bill must be passed by the Lok Sabha and then sent to the Rajya Sabha for its recommendations. The Rajya Sabha has 14 days to make its recommendations on the bill. If the Rajya Sabha does not make its recommendations within 14 days, the bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses of Parliament.
If the Rajya Sabha makes recommendations on the bill, the Lok Sabha can either accept or reject the recommendations. If the Lok Sabha accepts the recommendations, the bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses of Parliament. If the Lok Sabha rejects the recommendations, the bill is sent back to the Rajya Sabha for reconsideration. The Rajya Sabha has 14 days to reconsider the bill. If the Rajya Sabha does not reconsider the bill within 14 days, the bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses of Parliament.
If the Rajya Sabha passes the bill with amendments, the bill is sent back to the Lok Sabha for its concurrence. The Lok Sabha can either accept or reject the amendments. If the Lok Sabha accepts the amendments, the bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses of Parliament. If the Lok Sabha rejects the amendments, the bill is sent back to the Rajya Sabha for further consideration. The Rajya Sabha has 14 days to further consider the bill. If the Rajya Sabha does not further consider the bill within 14 days, the bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses of Parliament.
