Solution
The correct option is D 14 days
Money bills passed by the Lok Sabha are sent to the Rajya
Sabha. The Rajya Sabha may not amend money bills but can recommend amendments.
To make sure that Rajya Sabha doesn't amend the bill by adding some non-money
matters, the Lok Sabha Speaker certifies the bill as a money bill before
sending it to the upper house, and the decision of the Speaker is binding on
both the Houses. A money bill must be returned to the Lok Sabha within 14 days
or the bill is deemed to have passed both houses in the form it was originally
passed by the Lok Sabha.
