Article 109 of the Indian Constitution specifically deals with the special procedure in respect of Money Bills. Clause (5) of Article 109 states that if the Lok Sabha does not accept any of the recommendations made by the Rajya Sabha within the stipulated fourteen days, the Money Bill shall be deemed to have been passed by both Houses in the form in which it was passed by the Lok Sabha. This provision highlights the Lok Sabha’s dominant position regarding Money Bills.
Rajya Sabha has limited power over Money Bills; it can only recommend changes within 14 days, and the Lok Sabha is not bound by these recommendations.
A Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and only on the recommendation of the President. Once passed by the Lok Sabha, it is sent to the Rajya Sabha for its recommendations. If the Rajya Sabha fails to return the bill within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both Houses.
