The Bill was approved by the Union Cabinet on Friday Feb 07,2014 with 32 amendments, which will be moved by the government when it is taken up for consideration in Parliament,notwithstanding rejection by the Andhra Pradesh State Assembly
The Telangana bill will now be introduced in Lok Sabha first instead of the Rajya Sabha with the government seeking a fresh recommendation from the President after the Upper House secretariat held it is a money bill
The Rajya Sabha secretariat is of the view that since the proposed Act would involve appropriation of money out of the consolidated fund, it is a money bill as defined in the Constitution and hence has to be first introduced in Lok Sabha.
