Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
The President of India can direct the states to reserve money bills and other financial bills passed by the state legislature for consideration during a financial emergency in India.Though there is a division of powers between the Union and the States, the Indian Constitution provides the Union with power to exercise control over the legislation as well as the administration of the States. Legislation by a State can be disallowed by the President, when reserved by the Governor for his consideration.
