Explanation

Under Article 111 of the Indian Constitution, the President can only withhold assent to a Money Bill once. When a Money Bill is presented to the President after being passed by Parliament, the President may either give assent or withhold it. If withheld, the Bill is returned to Parliament for reconsideration. Once reconsidered and passed again, the President must give assent. The President cannot veto a Money Bill indefinitely.
