Constitution Section 119 — Regulation by law of procedure in Parliament in relation to financial business

Part V — THE UNION — Procedure Generally

Constitutional

Summary

Parliament can make a law to set the procedure and conduct of business in both Houses specifically for financial matters or bills that spend money from India's main government fund. This is to ensure financial business is completed on time. If such a law conflicts with any rules that a House has made for itself under Article 118, the law made under this section will override those rules.

Official Text

Parliament may, for the purpose of the timely completion of financial business, regulate by law the procedure of, and the conduct of business in, each House of Parliament in relation to any financial matter or to any Bill for the appropriation of moneys out of the Consolidated Fund of India, and, if and so far as any provision of any law so made is inconsistent with any rule made by a House of Parliament under clause (1) of article 118 or with any rule or standing order having effect in relation to Parliament under clause (2) of that article, such provision shall prevail.
