Regarding Money Bill, which of the following statements is not correct ?

Show answer

Answer: C. Article 110 covers appropriation of money out of the Consolidated Fund of India, not the Contingency Fund. So statement C is the incorrect one. Statements A, B and D are covered by Article 110(1).

Watch for: Article 110 mentions the Contingency Fund for custody, so students assume it also covers appropriation.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Wrong because A correctly reflects Article 110(1), which covers taxes.
  • B. Wrong because custody of both funds is listed in Article 110(1)(c).
  • D. Wrong because borrowing and guarantees are listed in Article 110(1)(b).
