The correct answer is 14 days.

According to Article 109(1) of the Constitution of India, after a Money Bill has been passed by the House of the People (Lok Sabha), it is transmitted to the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) for its recommendations. The Rajya Sabha must return the bill to the Lok Sabha within a period of fourteen days from the date of its receipt.

Rajya Sabha has limited powers regarding Money Bills. It cannot reject or amend a Money Bill. It can only suggest recommendations, which the Lok Sabha is free to accept or reject. If the Rajya Sabha does not return the bill within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both Houses in the form it was passed by the Lok Sabha.
