Explanation

Article 109(5) states that the Rajya Sabha can delay a Money Bill passed by Lok Sabha for a maximum of 14 days. If Rajya Sabha does not return the bill within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both Houses. This provision ensures that the directly elected Lok Sabha has primacy in financial matters.
