Explanation

When a money bill returns to the Lok Sabha with amendments made by the Rajya Sabha, it is open to Lok Sabha to accept or to reject any or all of the recommendations. When the Lok Sabha chooses to accept or decline the money bill with or without the recommendation, the money bill is deemed passed in both houses.
