Question and options

Direction: In this question two statements are labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). In the context of the two statements, which of the following is correct?
Assertion (A) : The Rajya Sabha cannot reject a Finance Bill
Reason (R) : A Finance Bill is ordinarily a Money Bill in terms of Article 110 of the Constitution
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. A is true but R is false
  4. A is false but R is true

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
The Rajya Sabha cannot reject a Money Bill; it can only make recommendations within 14 days (Art 109). The (annual) Finance Bill is ordinarily certified as a Money Bill under Art 110, which is why the Rajya Sabha cannot reject it. Hence both are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
