what powers are given to the legislature?
(b) Financial Powers: The Legislature of a State also controls the finances of a State. Without the legislative sanction, a single paisa cannot be spent. The budget is introduced every year in the State Legislature. The State Legislature may pass, reduce, or reject the demands for grants made in the budget.
Thus, the Constitution has imposed certain restrictions on the powers of the State Legislature. Another limitation on the power of the legislature is that during an emergency, the Parliament of India may make laws on the State List.
