Which Article provides for the recommendation of the President for a Money Bill?

• A. Article 117
• B. Article 110
• C. Article 120
• D. Article 130

Answer: (A)

The provision regarding the recommendation of the President for a Money Bill is outlined in Article 110 of the Constitution of India. This article states that a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha if the President recommends it. A Money Bill is defined specifically as one that deals primarily with taxation, government spending, and any provisions related to these topics. Thus, the requirement for presidential recommendation ensures that the government has the necessary authority and backing for financial matters before they are discussed in Parliament.

Article 117 does relate to money bills but focuses on the procedure concerning certain types of bills – it states that the Rajya Sabha can only make recommendations on money bills and cannot amend or reject them. However, it does not directly provide for the initial presidential recommendation that Article 110 does.

Therefore, the correct answer is based on Article 110, which clearly establishes the role of the President in the introduction of Money Bills in the Lok Sabha.
