Question:
By which time must the Governor return an ordinary bill to the concerned State Legislative Assembly for reconsideration?

Options

(1) One month
(2) Two months
(3) Six months
(4) No time limit
Answer: (4) No time limit

Explanation:
Under Article 200 of the Indian Constitution, when a bill is presented to the Governor, he may give assent, withhold assent, or return it for reconsideration (except a Money Bill). Importantly, the Constitution does not prescribe any time limit within which the Governor must return an ordinary bill for reconsideration. This has been a subject of constitutional debate, as Governors have sometimes kept bills pending for indefinitely long periods.
