Explanation

This is a conceptual question which needs understanding of different types of vetoes:

Absolute veto – means withholding of assent to a bill 

Qualified veto - which can be overridden by the Legislature with a high majority
Suspensive veto - which can be overridden by the Legislature with an ordinary majority 
Pocket veto – means delay in giving assent to a bill  The President of India does not enjoy qualified veto as once the bill is sent after reconsideration by the Parliament; he has to give his assent.
