When can a bill be defined as a money Bill

Understand the criteria that determine whether a bill is classified as a money Bill.
A bill can be defined as a money bill based on certain criteria established in parliamentary procedure. Here are the points that determine whether a bill is classified as a money bill:
  • 1. Deals with taxation or public expenditure: A money bill must solely deal with matters related to taxation, public revenue, or government spending.
  • 2. Approval of the Speaker: The Speaker of the House certifies a bill as a money bill if it meets the criteria specified in the constitution.
  • 3. Cannot be introduced in the Rajya Sabha: A money bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and not in the Rajya Sabha.
  • 4. No amendments by Rajya Sabha: The Rajya Sabha can suggest amendments to a money bill, but the Lok Sabha may choose to accept or reject them.
These criteria help distinguish money bills from other types of bills in the legislative process.
