A petition dealing with any of the matters specified in sub-clauses (a) to (f) of Clause (1) of Article 110 of the Constitution (defining Money Bills) or involving expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India requires the recommendation of the President before it can be presented to the House.

This rule aligns with the constitutional requirement for the President’s recommendation for introducing financial legislation (Article 117). While a petition is not a Bill, if it touches upon subjects that would require Presidential recommendation if they were part of a Bill, the same principle applies to ensure that such matters are brought before the House with executive approval. Rule 160(2) of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha explicitly states this requirement.

Article 110(1)(a) to (f) covers matters like the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of any tax; the regulation of borrowing of money or the giving of any guarantee by the Government of India; the custody of the Consolidated Fund or the Contingency Fund, etc. Petitions related to these subjects, or those involving expenditure from the Consolidated Fund, are considered financially sensitive and hence require the President’s recommendation for formal presentation to the House.
