Different Types of Bills

There are two main types of bills: public bills and private bills. Public bills are introduced by government ministers and reflect government policy, while private bills are introduced by individual members of parliament and reflect opposition views. Public bills have a greater chance of passing due to the government's majority in parliament. There are also different categories of bills based on their subject matter, including ordinary bills, money bills concerning financial matters, finance bills concerning other financial matters, and constitution amendment bills. Money bills can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha on the president's recommendation.
