Regarding the Money Bill, all statements were correct except;
(a) A bill shall be deemed to be a Money Bill if it contains only provisions relating to imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of any tax.
This is because it also deals with the following:
1.The regulation of the borrowing of money or the giving of any guarantee by the Government of India, or the amendment of the law with respect to any financial obligations undertaken or to be undertaken by the Government of India;
2.The custody of the Consolidated Fund or the Contingency Fund of India, the payment of moneys into or the withdrawal of moneys from any such Fund;
3.The appropriation of moneys out of the Consolidated Fund of India;
4.The declaring of any expenditure to be expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund of India or the increasing of the amount of any such expenditure;
5.The receipt of money on account of the Consolidated Fund of India or the public account of India or the custody or issue of such money or the audit of the accounts of the Union or of a State
A money bill has provisions for the custody of the Consolidated fund of India or the Contigency Fund of India, This as from the description is most likely to be the statement that is not correct as used in the description of the money bill.
Money bill is a document passed by the legislature to govern the allocation of funds in a given financial year.
