Directive Principles
Part IV, Articles 36–51. Non-justiciable; borrowed from the Irish Constitution. They aim at a welfare state and guide policy, not courts.

Declares India a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic. "Socialist", "Secular" and "Integrity" were added by the 42nd Amendment, 1976.
Money Bill — Article 110
Introduced only in the Lok Sabha; the Rajya Sabha can only recommend changes and must return it within 14 days. The Speaker certifies a Bill as a Money Bill.

President’s Election
Articles 54–55. Elected by an electoral college of elected MPs and MLAs through proportional representation by a single transferable vote.
