1)   LS passed the Aadhaar Bill in it’s ________ form even as it was sent back by the RS.

a. changed
b. original
c. simple
d. none of the above
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: original

Explanation:
LS passed the contentious Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Bill even as it was sent back by the RS which wanted 5 amendments to the bill. The government has a majority in the LS and brought the measure to the lower house as a money bill. RS does not have power to vote on this and can only suggest changes. Government took the decision to frame the Aadhar Bill as the money bill because subsidies to be backed by the Bill are expenditure incurred by GoI. Money bills are those concerned with taxes, expenditure and government funds.
