Limitations And Powers of Rajyasabha When the Lok Sabha passes a money bill then the Lok Sabha sends the money bill to the Rajya Sabha for 14 days during which it can make recommendations. Even if the Rajya Sabha fails to return the money bill in 14 days to the Lok Sabha, that bill is deemed to have passed by both houses. the Lok Sabha tends to have a greater influence in a joint sitting of Parliament. The Union government cannot make a law on a matter reserved for States without any authorisation from the Rajya Sabha. The Rajya Sabha, by a two-thirds supermajority, can pass a resolution empowering the Indian government to create more all-India services common to both the union and the states.
