To pass a Money Bill in the Parliament, which of the following is not necessary?

  1. A
    Approval of the Lok Sabha
  2. B
    Approval of the Finance Minister
  3. C
    Approval of the Rajya Sabha
  4. D
    None of the above

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Under Article 109 of the Constitution of India, the Rajya Sabha has extremely limited powers regarding Money Bills. A Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha. Once passed by the Lok Sabha, it is transmitted to the Rajya Sabha for its recommendations. The Rajya Sabha must return the bill within 14 days. If it fails to do so, or if the Lok Sabha rejects its recommendations, the bill is deemed passed by both Houses. Therefore, formal approval or consent from the Rajya Sabha is not necessary to pass a Money Bill.
