No member can, without the previous sanction
of the Governor-General, introduce a measure affecting
 (1) the public debt or public revenues of India,
or by which any charge would be imposed on the
revenues ; (2) the religion or religious rights and
usages of any class of British subjects in India ; (3) the
discipline or maintenance of any part of the army
and navy ; and (4) the relations of the government
with foreign princes or states.

The assent of the Governor-General is necessary
to render valid any enactment passed by the council ;
such assent is necessary whether the Governor-General
 was or was not present in council at the making
of the law or regulation. Should the Governor-General
 withhold his assent, the law cannot take effect.
The Governor-General may #eserve such law or regulation,
 without giving his assent, for consideration
by the Crown, in which case it does not ‘take effect
until the Queen’s assent has been communicated by
the Secretary of State to the Governor-General, and
duly proclaimed by the latter.

The Crown has power reserved to it to dzsallow
any law or regulation passed by the council and
assented to by the Governor-General. Such disallowance
 annuls the law affected by it from the time
that the Governor-General makes known, by proclamation,
 or by signification to his council, that he
has received the notification of the fact.
