Lok Sabha has more powers in case of money bills. Once the budget or any other money bill is passed by the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha cannot reject it. The Rajya Sabha can only delay it by 14 days or suggest changes in it. The Lok Sabha may or may not accept those changes.

The Lok Sabha controls the Council of MINISTERS. A person who enjoys the majority support in the Lok Sabha becomes the PRIME Minister of the country. Once the Lok Sabha SAYS that its members have ‘no confidence’ in the Council of Ministers, the Prime Minister and all the ministers have to quit. The Rajya Sabha does not enjoy this power.
