Budget session of Parliament is in recess and will resume on March 8
In a pre-emptive move, the Congress has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, urging him not to bypass the Rajya Sabha by declaring seven key Bills, including the one on privatising two public sector banks, as “money bills”.
The Budget session of Parliament is in recess and will resume on March 8. The Rajya Sabha has limited powers to legislate on a “money bill”. The Lok Sabha is free to accept or reject the amendments made by the Rajya Sabha on a money bill, making the Upper House’s views on the legislation irrelevant.
