What options does the Legislative Council have when a non-money bill passed by the Legislative Assembly is sent to it?
Answer
When a non-money bill passed by the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) is sent to the Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad), the Council can delay it for up to three months and suggest amendments. If returned and passed again by the Assembly, the Council can hold it for only one more month. After that, the bill is deemed passed even without the Council's approval.
