(d) None

Answer: (c) All three

When the Lok Sabha transmits the Finance Bill to the Rajya Sabha, it can amend or reject the Bill: This statement is correct. The Finance Bill, being a Money Bill, can be amended or rejected by the Rajya Sabha. However, any amendments made by the Rajya Sabha must be accepted or rejected by the Lok Sabha. The Lok Sabha has the final say on the Finance Bill.

When the Lok Sabha transmits the Money Bill to the Rajya Sabha, it cannot amend or reject the Bill, it can only make recommendations: This statement is correct. As per Article 109 of the Indian Constitution, the Rajya Sabha does not have the power to amend or reject a Money Bill. It can only make recommendations for amendments, which are not binding on the Lok Sabha. The Lok Sabha has the final authority to accept or reject these recommendations.

In the case of disagreement between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, there is no joint sitting for the Money Bill, but a joint sitting becomes necessary for the Finance Bill: This statement is correct. In the case of a disagreement between the two houses on a Money Bill, there is no provision for a joint sitting to resolve the matter. The decision of the Lok Sabha is considered final. However, if there is a disagreement on a non-Money Bill, including the Finance Bill, a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament can be called to resolve the disagreement.
