Comparison of Legislative Procedure in Parliament and a Bicameral State Legislature

1. With regards to Money Bills

The position is same in case of Money Bills. The Legislative Council has no power except to make recommendations to the Assembly for amendments or to withhold the Bill for a period of 14 days. However, the will of the assembly prevails and the Assembly is not bound to accept any recommendations of the Council. Thus there cannot be any deadlock between the two Houses with regards to a Money Bill.
