B The President may sign it into a law
C The President may ask both the Houses to reconsider it.
D The President may call a joint sitting of both the Houses to consider it.

Answer: Option [D]

The correct answer is Option D. No bill will be regarded as passed by the Parliament unless both the Houses approve of it. Money bills can originate only in the Lok Sabha. A money bill passed by the Lok Sabha must be adopted by the Rajya Sabha within 14 days.

In case of a difference between the two Houses over a non-money bill, the President may call a joint sitting of the Houses to resolve it.

Answer: Option [B]

After being passed by the Lok Sabha, the money bill moves to the Rajya Sabha which has four options: (a) Pass the bill (b) Reject the bill (c) Take no action for 14 days (d) Send the bill with amendments to Lok Sabha. In case of rejection of bill or inaction for 14 days, the bill shall be deemed to have been passed by Rajya Sabha. And in case of amendments suggested, Lok Sabha has the sole authority to accept or reject it.
