Explanation:

In the following matters, the powers and status of the council are unequal to that of the assembly:

A Money Bill can be introduced only in the assembly and not in the council.
The council cannot amend or reject a money bill. It should return the bill to the assembly within 14 days, either with recommendations or without recommendations.
The assembly can either accept or reject all or any of the recommendation of the council. In both the cases, the money bill is deemed to have been passed by the two Houses.
The final power to decide whether a particular bill is a money bill or not is vested in the Speaker of the assembly.
The council does not participate in the election of the president of India and representatives of the state in the Rajya Sabha.
The council has no effective say in the ratification of a constitutional amendment bill. In this respect also, the will of the assembly prevails over that of the council.
Finally, the very existence of the council depends on the will of the assembly. The council can be abolished by the Parliament on the recommendation of the assembly.
