What is the maximum duration for which the Rajya Sabha can delay or withhold the passage of a Money Bill transmitted by the Lok Sabha?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Under Article 110 and Article 109, a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha on the recommendation of the President. Once passed, it is sent to the Rajya Sabha, which must return the bill with or without recommendations within fourteen days. If the Rajya Sabha fails to return it within this timeframe, the bill is deemed passed by both houses in the form passed by the Lok Sabha.
