Question

List two ways in which the Lok Sabha is more powerful than the Rajya Sabha.

Answer 1

1. Financial Powers:

• Money Bills can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha.
• The Rajya Sabha can only recommend changes, which the Lok Sabha may accept or reject.
• Final authority on Money Bills rests with the Lok Sabha (Article 110 of the Constitution).

2. Control Over the Executive:

• The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible only to the Lok Sabha.
• The Lok Sabha can remove the government by passing a no-confidence motion; the Rajya Sabha cannot do this.
