Under Article 110 of the Indian Constitution, if any question arises whether a bill is a Money Bill or not, the decision of the Lok Sabha Speaker is final and cannot be challenged in any court of law, either House of Parliament, or by the President. Additionally, when a Money Bill is presented to the President, they can either give assent or withhold assent, but they cannot return the bill for reconsideration of the Houses, as it is introduced with the President's prior recommendation.
