Whose approval is generally needed for an ordinary bill to become law?

Correct answer: Both Houses

Correct answer: A, because an ordinary bill generally has to be passed by both Houses of Parliament before it can become law. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha each consider the bill, discuss its provisions and vote on it. They normally need to approve the same text. After parliamentary passage, the bill is sent to the President for assent. Option B is wrong because a market has no constitutional law-making authority. Option C is wrong because schools do not pass national laws. Option D is wrong because the police enforce laws but do not approve parliamentary bills. The word generally is important: this question is about the normal process for an ordinary bill, not about a special financial procedure. Memory cue: ordinary bill needs both Houses; the President’s assent follows their passage.
