Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
Article 109 of the Constitution establishes a special legislative procedure for Money Bills: such a Bill cannot be introduced in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha). It originates in the House of the People (Lok Sabha), and after passage there it is transmitted to the Rajya Sabha for recommendations, which must be returned within fourteen days.
Application
The question asks for the House in which the constitutional process begins. That House is the Lok Sabha.
Contrast and cross-check
Rajya Sabha: it receives a Money Bill only after the Lok Sabha has passed and transmitted it, and it may recommend changes.
A joint sitting: Article 108’s deadlock procedure does not apply to a Money Bill.
Either House: that is the general route for ordinary Bills, not the special route for a Money Bill.
Result
A Money Bill can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha.
