Solution

Money Bill Ordinary Bill

Any bill that envisages levy of taxes or some expenditure by the government is called Money Bill.

Those bills in which money is not involved
in any way are called Ordinary Bills.

Money Bill can originate only in the Lok Sabha and that too by the government.

Ordinary Bills can originate in any house,
either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.

The bill has to be passed by the Lok Sabha only with the consent of government.

It has to be passed in both the Lok Sabha
and the Rajya Sabha

Rajya Sabha has no power to make any change in the bill passed by the Lok Sabha. But it can only delay the bill for 14 days. Final power remains in the hands of Lok Sabha and government.

If both the houses do not agree, then a joint
sitting of the two houses is called under the
chairmanship of the speaker of the Lok Sabha and
then it is passed or rejected by the majority.
