Appeared in: UPUMS Nsg officer-2023

Explanation

The President of India is constitutionally obligated to give assent to a Constitutional Amendment Bill.
The 24th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1971 removed the President's veto power over such bills.
This means the President cannot use absolute, suspensive, or pocket veto on a Constitutional Amendment Bill passed by the Parliament.

Option A: The President has veto power over an ordinary bill, including absolute, suspensive, and pocket veto.
Option C: The President has veto powers over a financial bill, similar to those for an ordinary bill.
Option D: The President can use an absolute veto on a money bill (withhold assent), although it cannot be returned for reconsideration (no suspensive veto).
