Question and options

Who among the following in the state legislature decides whether a bill is a Money Bill or not?
  1. Speaker of Legislative Assembly
  2. Chief Minister
  3. Chairman of Legislative Council
  4. Leader of Majority party

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Speaker of Legislative Assembly
Under Article 199(3), if a question arises whether a Bill is a Money Bill, the decision of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly is final. The Chairman of the Legislative Council has no say, because a Money Bill can be introduced only in the Assembly. Neither the Chief Minister nor the leader of the majority party decides the question.
