The difference between an ordinary bill and a money bill is as follows:
1. Ordinary bill can be introduced in any house of the Parliament. Money bills can be introduced only in Lok Sabha.
2. For ordinary bills, the President’s consent is riot essential. Money bills can be introduced only after getting the President’s consent.
3. The Rajya Sabha can detain an ordinary bill for 6 months, but it can detain a money bill for a maximum of 14 days only.
4. When an ordinary bill is refused by a house, a joint session of both the houses of the Parliament is held after 6 months. If money bill is not returned by the Rajya Sabha within 14 days, it is considered to be passed by the House.
