Official UPSC Answer KeyUPSC Prelims 2018 • Polity

Correct Answer: Option (C) — A Money Bill is concerned with the appropriation of money out of the Contingency Fund of India.

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

According to Article 110 of the Constitution, a Money Bill deals with:

  • The imposition, abolition, remission, alteration, or regulation of any tax (Statement a).
  • The regulation of borrowing of money or giving of any guarantee by the Government of India (Statement d).
  • The custody of the Consolidated Fund of India or the Contingency Fund of India, the payment of moneys into or the withdrawal of money from any such fund (Statement b).
  • The appropriation of money out of the Consolidated Fund of India.

Statement (c) is incorrect because an appropriation bill is concerned with the appropriation of money out of the Consolidated Fund of India, not the Contingency Fund of India. Advances from the Contingency Fund are placed at the disposal of the President for unforeseen expenditure and are recouped subsequently.

Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

Pay close attention to fund names in constitutional provisions. 'Appropriation of money' is constitutionally linked to the 'Consolidated Fund of India' under Article 110 and Article 114, making statement (c) the incorrect fact being asked.
