&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Narendra Modi government appears to have again opted for the money bill route, this time to implement new provisions on political parties&#039; funding, to &amp;quot;sidestep&amp;quot; the Rajya Sabha where the ruling NDA is in a minority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A money bill can be introduced, amended and voted on only in the Lok Sabha. They are referred to the Rajya Sabha but it cannot vote on them, nor can it hold back such legislation for more than 14 days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The planned amendments have been mentioned in the finance bill, which was part of the budget presented last week. The proposed changes in political funding have been hailed by some as a game-changer but have not stood the scrutiny of transparency and accountability advocates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to some, none of the amendments qualifies as a money bill. &amp;quot;Where is the actual money outflow from the Consolidated Fund of the Government of India,&amp;quot; asked former Union minister Jairam Ramesh. The senior Congress leader has moved the Supreme Court against the government&#039;s decision to declare the Aadhaar legislation a money bill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the Speaker&#039;s decision is final on whether a legislation is a money bill, the Aadhaar Bill was cleared by Parliament as such. But the matter is pending in court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked about the latest move, Ramesh said: &amp;quot;He (finance minister Arun Jaitley) will say they are budget proposals and, hence, automatically money bills. This is unadulterated hogwash. There is no expenditure whatsoever from the Consolidated Fund of India.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RSP Lok Sabha MP N. K. Premachandran, who has protested the frequent use of the money bill route to bypass the Rajya Sabha, described the three planned amendments as &amp;quot;totally unconstitutional&amp;quot; and against the spirit of parliamentary democracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Premachandran said the only amendment that could somewhat qualify to be put in the Finance Bill is the one related to the Income Tax Act as the government intends to bring electoral bonds and reduce individual donations to political parties from Rs 20,000 to Rs 2,000.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Narendra Modi government appears to have again opted for the money bill route, this time to implement new provisions on political parties&#039; funding, to &amp;quot;sidestep&amp;quot; the Rajya Sabha where the ruling NDA is in a minority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A money bill can be introduced, amended and voted on only in the Lok Sabha. They are referred to the Rajya Sabha but it cannot vote on them, nor can it hold back such legislation for more than 14 days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The planned amendments have been mentioned in the finance bill, which was part of the budget presented last week. The proposed changes in political funding have been hailed by some as a game-changer but have not stood the scrutiny of transparency and accountability advocates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to some, none of the amendments qualifies as a money bill. &amp;quot;Where is the actual money outflow from the Consolidated Fund of the Government of India,&amp;quot; asked former Union minister Jairam Ramesh. The senior Congress leader has moved the Supreme Court against the government&#039;s decision to declare the Aadhaar legislation a money bill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the Speaker&#039;s decision is final on whether a legislation is a money bill, the Aadhaar Bill was cleared by Parliament as such. But the matter is pending in court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked about the latest move, Ramesh said: &amp;quot;He (finance minister Arun Jaitley) will say they are budget proposals and, hence, automatically money bills. This is unadulterated hogwash. There is no expenditure whatsoever from the Consolidated Fund of India.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RSP Lok Sabha MP N. K. Premachandran, who has protested the frequent use of the money bill route to bypass the Rajya Sabha, described the three planned amendments as &amp;quot;totally unconstitutional&amp;quot; and against the spirit of parliamentary democracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Premachandran said the only amendment that could somewhat qualify to be put in the Finance Bill is the one related to the Income Tax Act as the government intends to bring electoral bonds and reduce individual donations to political parties from Rs 20,000 to Rs 2,000.&lt;br /&gt;

<br />
According to some, none of the amendments qualifies as a money bill. &quot;Where is the actual money outflow from the Consolidated Fund of the Government of India,&quot; asked former Union minister Jairam Ramesh. The senior Congress leader has moved the Supreme Court against the government's decision to declare the Aadhaar legislation a money bill.<br />
<br />
Since the Speaker's decision is final on whether a legislation is a money bill, the Aadhaar Bill was cleared by Parliament as such. But the matter is pending in court.<br />
<br />
Asked about the latest move, Ramesh said: &quot;He (finance minister Arun Jaitley) will say they are budget proposals and, hence, automatically money bills. This is unadulterated hogwash. There is no expenditure whatsoever from the Consolidated Fund of India.&quot;<br />
<br />
RSP Lok Sabha MP N. K. Premachandran, who has protested the frequent use of the money bill route to bypass the Rajya Sabha, described the three planned amendments as &quot;totally unconstitutional&quot; and against the spirit of parliamentary democracy.<br />
<br />
Premachandran said the only amendment that could somewhat qualify to be put in the Finance Bill is the one related to the Income Tax Act as the government intends to bring electoral bonds and reduce individual donations to political parties from Rs 20,000 to Rs 2,000.<br />

Lens on money bill route for party funding

-The Telegraph New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government appears to have again opted for the money bill route, this time to implement new provisions on political parties' funding, to "sidestep" the Rajya Sabha where the ruling NDA is in a minority. A money bill can be introduced, amended and voted on only in the Lok Sabha. They are referred to the Rajya Sabha but it cannot vote on them, nor can it hold back such legislation for more than 14 days. The planned amendments have been mentioned in the finance bill, which was part of the budget presented last week. The proposed changes in political funding have been hailed by some as a game-changer but have not stood the scrutiny of transparency and accountability advocates. According to some, none of the amendments qualifies as a money bill. "Where is the actual money outflow from the Consolidated Fund of the Government of India," asked former Union minister Jairam Ramesh. The senior Congress leader has moved the Supreme Court against the government's decision to declare the Aadhaar legislation a money bill. Since the Speaker's decision is final on whether a legislation is a money bill, the Aadhaar Bill was cleared by Parliament as such. But the matter is pending in court. Asked about the latest move, Ramesh said: "He (finance minister Arun Jaitley) will say they are budget proposals and, hence, automatically money bills. This is unadulterated hogwash. There is no expenditure whatsoever from the Consolidated Fund of India." RSP Lok Sabha MP N. K. Premachandran, who has protested the frequent use of the money bill route to bypass the Rajya Sabha, described the three planned amendments as "totally unconstitutional" and against the spirit of parliamentary democracy. Premachandran said the only amendment that could somewhat qualify to be put in the Finance Bill is the one related to the Income Tax Act as the government intends to bring electoral bonds and reduce individual donations to political parties from Rs 20,000 to Rs 2,000.
