Consider the following statements regarding the demands for grants in the Indian Parliament:
1. Both Houses of Parliament have equal power to vote on demands for grants.
2. Demands for grants that are charged upon the Consolidated Fund of India are not subjected to voting in either house.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 2 is correct because demands for grants are of two types: those charged on the Consolidated Fund of India are not voted upon in either house, whereas those not charged are voted upon in the Lok Sabha.
