Q1. With reference to the Indian Parliament, which one of the following is not correct?
Explanation
/ (c) Statement (a) is incorrect: Appropriation Bill is a money Bill and according to Article 109 of the Indian Constitution, the Rajya Sabha has only a recommendatory role in the case of a Money Bill. Statement (b) is correct: According to Article 266 of the Indian Constitution, funds can only be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund of India through appropriations made by the Appropriation Act. Statement (c) is incorrect: While a Finance Bill is necessary for proposing new taxes and is typically used to modify existing tax rates, legislative approval or authorization (via Acts or notifications) is always required for changing tax rates. It is not always accurate to claim that no additional Bill/Act is required for such changes. Statement (d) is correct: Under Article 117 of the Indian Constitution, the President’s recommendation is mandatory for the introduction of a Money Bill which can be introduced only in Lok Sabha. Note: Here, both the statements (a) and (c) seem partially/ completely incorrect.
