Which one of the following is NOT a correct feature of a Money Bill ?

A Money Bill is governed by a special procedure under Articles 109 and 110 of the Constitution. It can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha on the recommendation of the President [2]. Under Article 110(3), if any question arises regarding whether a bill is a Money Bill, the Speaker's decision is final and cannot be questioned in court or Parliament [5]. While the Speaker typically certifies the bill, in the event of a vacancy in the Speaker's office, the Deputy Speaker can perform these duties, including certification. Crucially, while ordinary bills can be referred to a Joint Committee of both Houses to resolve deadlocks, a Money Bill cannot be referred to such a committee. The Rajya Sabha has restricted powers, limited to making non-binding recommendations within 14 days, and cannot reject or amend the bill [4]. Therefore, referral to a joint committee is not a feature of a Money Bill.
