Explanation:

Legislative council is equal with Legislative Assembly in case of introduction and passage of ordinary bill but in case of disagreement between LA and LC, LA prevails. LC can keep an ordinary bill for a maximum of 4 months. If LC passes a bill but is rejected by LA, then the bill collapses.

A money bill can be introduced only in LA. LC cannot amend or reject a money bill. LC has to return money bill within 14 days, either with or without recommendations.
