Correct Answer: 1 and 2 only. Statement 1 is correct as in terms of Money Bill, Rajya Sabha has no power either to reject or amend a Money Bill but can only make recommendations on it. Money Bill if not returned to Lok Sabha within 14 days, then it is concluded that the Bill have been passed by both the Houses with particular period of time. Statement 2 is also correct as Rajya Sabha has no power to vote on the Demands for Grants and has no power to pass no-confidence vote in Council of Ministers. cannot vote on the Demands for Grants We see that only Lok Sabha can vote on demand for grants while Rajya Sabha can only keep money bill for not more than 14 days prior which the bill should be returned to Lok Sabha along with recommendations or passed by Rajya Sabha. If it is not agreed in both the houses, then the bill is deemed passed in form as passed by Lok Sabha. We see that every year budget is discussed by Rajya Sabha. Statement 3 is incorrect as Rajya Sabha may discuss Annual Financial Statement. These three statements eliminates options A, C and D, so option B is correct.
