Which type of bill cannot be returned by the President of India? 

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: (B) Money Bill

• A Money Bill cannot be returned by the President of India.

• According to the Constitution of India, a Money Bill is a bill that exclusively deals with national taxation or expenditure and must be passed by both Houses of Parliament.

• The President can only either give assent or withhold assent to a Money Bill, but cannot return it for reconsideration, unlike an ordinary bill or a constitutional amendment bill.

• Money Bills deal with matters such as taxation, public expenditure, and borrowings, and the Lok Sabha has exclusive authority to introduce and pass such bills.

• The President of India cannot send a Money Bill back to Parliament for reconsideration.

• The President can, however, return ordinary bills and constitutional amendment bills with recommendations.

• Once a Money Bill is passed by the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha has limited powers to delay it, but the bill must be passed by the Lok Sabha again if not accepted by the Rajya Sabha.

• Money Bills are subject to specific procedures under Article 109 of the Indian Constitution.

• Ordinary Bill: The President can return an ordinary bill (except Money Bills) for reconsideration by Parliament.

• Constitutional Amendment Bill: The President can withhold or return a Constitutional Amendment Bill, though this process is rare.

• Law Bill: The term Law Bill is not a specific category in the context of the Indian Constitution; it is more of a generic term for bills related to laws.
