Which of the following is the correct description of a Money Bill under the Constitution of India?

  2. BA Bill that seeks to amend the Constitution and is introduced only in the Rajya Sabha
  3. CA Bill dealing with any subject that may be introduced in either House on the President's wish
  4. DA Bill introduced by a private member to change the rules of procedure of Parliament

Explanation

A Money Bill deals only with matters such as imposition of taxes or the Consolidated Fund and can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha, with the President's recommendation. The Rajya Sabha has no power to introduce it. The constitutional amendment option describes a different kind of Bill and has no such Rajya Sabha restriction.
