It is now apparent that the confusion may have resulted from the fact that the new proposed law on data protection was introduced as a financial bill as opposed to a regular bill; unlike a money bill. The matter will be discussed and voted on by both Houses of Parliament, according to officials with knowledge of the situation. Officials explained that it is being introduced as a financial measure because it involves the establishment of a data board and the salaries of its members. And Presidential approval is required for this.
Tewari had asked before why the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill was suddenly put in the category of a financial bill. In a tweet, he said, “If this bill is passed and @loksabhaspeaker @ombirlakota certifies it as a money bill, which seems to be the goal of making it a Financial Bill, then Rajya Sabha can’t vote on it.” It can only suggest changes that Lok Sabha doesn’t have to make,” he wrote on Twitter.
It requires the president’s approval because it takes funds from the consolidated fund. According to officials, the proposed legislation falls under Article 117, not Article 110 (money measure).
“Special provisions regarding financial Bills” is the subject of Article 117 of the Constitution.
Money bills do not fall under Article 117, but rather Article 110.
