RuleMate India

SHORT ANSWER: A state legislature in India can override a governor's veto on ordinary bills by re-passing the bill with a simple majority, while money bills cannot be vetoed by the governor if they are passed by the legislature. DETAILS: - For ordinary bills, if the governor returns the bill with a request for reconsideration, the legislature can pass the bill again with a simple majority. - Money bills, as defined under Article 110 of the Constitution, can only be introduced in the state legislature and do not require the governor's assent if passed by the legislature. - If the governor withholds assent to a money bill, it cannot be reintroduced in the same session. PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable): - There are no specific punishments for overriding a governor's veto, but the political implications may vary. SOURCE: - Constitution of India, Article 200 and Article 110
