In Parliament, who takes the final decision on whether a Bill is a Money Bill or not?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Speaker.

In the Indian Parliament, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha holds the final authority to decide whether a Bill is a Money Bill or not (Article 110). The Speaker’s decision is binding and cannot be questioned in court or by the Rajya Sabha.

Other Options:

  1. Prime Minister – Advises the government but has no constitutional role in certifying Money Bills.

  2. Vice President (Chairman of Rajya Sabha) – The Rajya Sabha can only recommend changes but cannot reject or decide on Money Bills.

  3. Finance Minister – Drafts financial bills but lacks the authority to classify them as Money Bills.

Thus, the Speaker’s role is exclusive and decisive in this matter.
