difference between money bill and ordinarybill
money bill implies a bill that deals with money matters, like an imposition, alteration and abolition of taxes, government spending, consolidated funds, borrowings, etc. Ordinary bills are introduced by a minister or private member in either of the two chambers of Parliament.
Answer:
In the legislation, all the proposals are brought in Parliament, for discussion as bills. When a bill is passed by both the chambers of the Parliament and approved by the President, it turns out as an Act. The Speaker decides whether a bill is an ordinary bill or a money bill. An ordinary bill is a bill that can be presented for discussion in any of the two houses of the Parliament, by a minister or private member.
On the contrary, a money bill is presented in the lower house of the Parliament, i.e. the Lok Sabha, for discussion, by a minister. There are a number of points that differentiates an ordinary bill from a money bill, which is discussed in the points given below.
