Build exam-ready understanding by connecting the core idea, formulas or facts, worked example and previous NDA questions. Focus on why each rule works, then test it under timed conditions.

Concept

Parliament is the supreme legislative body of India, consisting of the President, the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). It makes laws and controls the executive.

The Lok Sabha is the more powerful house in money matters.

Key Points & Formulas

Lok Sabha: directly elected; maximum strength 552; 5-year term.
Rajya Sabha: permanent house, one-third members retire every 2 years; 6-year term for members.
Money Bills can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha.
A bill becomes law after passage by both Houses and the President's assent.

Worked Example

Q. Why is the Lok Sabha more powerful in financial matters?

Money Bills can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha.

The Rajya Sabha can only suggest changes within 14 days, which the Lok Sabha may reject.

So the Lok Sabha has the final say on money matters.

Common traps

Reading the prompt too quickly and missing a qualifier.
Memorising the result without checking when it applies.
Skipping units, signs, chronology or the final reasonableness check.

NDA shortcuts

State the governing rule before substituting values.
Eliminate impossible options before doing full calculation.
