When can a bill be defined as a money Bill and how does it differ from other Bills

Explain the conditions under which a bill can be classified as a money Bill and elucidate the distinctions between money Bills and other types of Bills.
A bill can be classified as a money bill if it solely pertains to financial matters, such as taxation, government expenditure, borrowing of money, or appropriation of funds.
  • Money bills can only be introduced in the lower house of a bicameral parliament.
  • They require the recommendation of the President or Governor to be introduced.
  • Money bills cannot be amended by the upper house, making the process faster.
  • Money bills must be passed within 14 days by the upper house, or it is deemed to have been passed.
The main distinction between money bills and other bills lies in their exclusive focus on financial matters and the special procedures involved in their passing.
