The correct option is The Council of States.
Explanation
Article 109 of the Constitution of India specifies the "Special procedure in respect of Money Bills," distinguishing the legislative process for financial bills from ordinary legislation.
Constitutional Provisions (Article 109):
- Article 109(1): Explicitly states that a Money Bill shall not be introduced in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha).
- Exclusive Privilege: A Money Bill can only be introduced in the House of the People (Lok Sabha) on the recommendation of the President.
- Role of Rajya Sabha: After passage in the Lok Sabha, the bill is transmitted to the Rajya Sabha, which must return it within 14 days with or without recommendations. The Rajya Sabha cannot reject or amend the bill.
Key Takeaway: The Constitution ensures the supremacy of the directly elected House (Lok Sabha) in financial matters by strictly prohibiting the introduction of Money Bills in the Rajya Sabha.
