Q. The power to vote money for public expenditure vests in __:

1. Lok Sabha
2. Rajya Sabha
3. Legislative Assembly
4. Legislative Council

Choose the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 3
Notes: The correct answer is Only 1 & 3. In India, the power to vote on money bills, which includes public expenditure, is vested in the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Legislative Assembly of the states. The Rajya Sabha (Council of States) cannot initiate or amend money bills, but it can discuss them. The Legislative Council, where it exists, also does not have the power to vote on money bills. This is rooted in Article 110 of the Indian Constitution, which defines money bills and their legislative process.
