What will follow if a Money Bill is substantially amended by the Rajya Sabha?
Detailed Explanation:
Article 109 of the Constitution governs the procedure for Money Bills in Parliament.
When the Rajya Sabha receives a Money Bill, it can only recommend amendments within 14 days but has no power to reject or substantially amend it.
The Lok Sabha has absolute discretion to accept or reject any recommendations made by the Rajya Sabha.
If the Lok Sabha rejects the recommendations, the Bill is deemed passed in its original form by both Houses.
There is no provision for joint sitting or sending the Bill back for reconsideration in case of Money Bills.
