Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Under Article 109 of the Indian Constitution, the Rajya Sabha has restricted powers regarding Money Bills. Once a Money Bill is passed by the Lok Sabha, it is transmitted to the Rajya Sabha for its consideration. The Rajya Sabha must return the bill to the Lok Sabha within a period of 14 days from the date of its receipt [3]. During this period, the Rajya Sabha can only make recommendations; it cannot reject or amend the bill [1]. If the Rajya Sabha fails to return the bill within the stipulated 14-day period, the bill is deemed to have been passed by both Houses of Parliament in the form in which it was originally passed by the Lok Sabha [4]. The Lok Sabha retains the ultimate authority to either accept or reject any recommendations made by the Rajya Sabha [2].
