UPSC 2024 Q14Polity
With reference to the Parliament of India, consider the following statements:1. A Money Bill can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha and requires prior recommendation of the President.2. A Joint Sitting of Parliament can be called to resolve a deadlock on a Money Bill.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
✓ (a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
✗ (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Trap: Common Misconception
Statement 2 is wrong. Article 108 explicitly excludes Money Bills from Joint Sitting. Many aspirants assume all deadlocked bills go to joint sitting.
How to eliminate
Article 109 gives Rajya Sabha no power to reject a Money Bill — so there's no “deadlock” requiring joint sitting. Eliminates statement 2 and all options containing it.
