To whom among the following is a Bill presented for assent after it has been passed by both the Houses of the Parliament?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • After a Bill has been passed by both Houses of Parliament, it is presented to the President for their assent. 

Explanation:

  • A bill in the Indian Parliament is a draft law.
  • It is introduced in either House (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha), except Money Bills which start only in Lok Sabha.

The process includes three readings:

  • Introduction (First Reading)
  • Discussion and possible committee review (Second Reading)
  • Final approval (Third Reading).

After passing one House, the bill goes to the other for the same process. If both Houses approve, it is sent to the President.

The President can approve, withhold, or return it (except Money Bills). Once the President gives assent, the bill becomes a law and is enforced across India.
