Which type of Bill is excluded from the joint sitting of both Houses under the proviso to Article 108(1)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Money Bill
- Step 1: Article 108 of the Constitution lets the President summon a joint sitting if a Bill passed by one House is rejected by the other, the Houses finally disagree on amendments, or more than six months elapse without the other House passing it. Answer: Money Bill. The proviso adds that nothing in that clause shall apply to a Money Bill. Why not the others: A Bill rejected by the other House, a Bill on which the Houses disagree on amendments, and a Bill not passed within six months are the three situations in which Article 108 permits a joint sitting.
