Consider the following statements regarding the powers of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha:
1. A Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha.
2. The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha.
3. The power to initiate the creation of new All-India Services lies exclusively with the Lok Sabha.

Which of the statements given above indicate the exclusive powers of the Lok Sabha compared to the Rajya Sabha?

Accepted Answer

According to Article 117, a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha. Under Article 75(3), the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. Thus, statements 1 and 2 represent the exclusive powers of the Lok Sabha. The power to initiate the creation of All-India Services lies exclusively with the Rajya Sabha under Article 312, making statement 3 incorrect.
