Which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched regarding the terminology used in the Parliament?
A.Appropriation Bill - A Money Bill passed for providing for the withdrawal or appropriation from and out of the Consolidated Fund of India
B.Demand for Grants - Earmarking of budgetary allocation for meeting only planned expenditure of a Ministry/Department
C.Short Duration Discussion - For raising a discussion on a matter of urgent public importance for which a notice has to be given by a Member and supported by 50 Members
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A only.
- A. Appropriation Bill - This correctly paired option signifies that the Appropriation Bill is indeed a Money Bill designed for the withdrawal or appropriation from the Consolidated Fund of India.
- B. Demand for Grants and C. Short Duration Discussion - are inaccurately matched in the given context. "Demands for Grants" entail estimates of expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India, presented to the Lok Sabha for approval on a ministry-wise basis.
- On the other hand, a "Short Duration Discussion" in the Indian parliament refers to a discussion on a matter of urgent public importance, necessitating prior notice but not requiring support from 50 members. Therefore, these pairings are not accurate in the provided context.
