In India, a Bill is not to be deemed to be a Money Bill, if it contains provision for-----

  • A.the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of any tax
  • B.the imposition of fines or other pecuniary penalties, or the demand or payment of fees for licences or fees for services rendered
  • C.the appropriation of money out of the Consolidated Fund of India
  • D.the regulation of the borrowing of money by the Union Government.

Answer: B

A Bill is not a Money Bill merely because it provides for the imposition of fines or other pecuniary penalties, or the demand or payment of fees for licences or fees for services rendered.

Article 110(1) lists what makes a Bill a Money Bill: the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of any tax; the regulation of borrowing by the Government of India; custody of and withdrawals from the Consolidated Fund; and appropriation of money out of it.

Article 110(2) then excludes Bills that provide only for fines, penalties, or fees for licences or services, and Bills about taxation by local bodies. The other three options are all items from Article 110(1), so a Bill containing them is a Money Bill.
