What this means

  • The index files this text under article 109 of the Constitution of India.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER II.—P ARLIAMENT — General”.
  • The passage runs to about 255 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) A Money Bill shall not be introduced in the Council of States.”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
