1, 3 and 4

Explanation

Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct. Article 109 details the special procedure, which dictates Money Bills can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha. The Rajya Sabha has no power to reject it, only to recommend changes. Statement 4 is incorrect; the Lok Sabha is entirely free to accept or reject any or all of the Rajya Sabha's recommendations.

In matters of finance and Money Bills, the Lok Sabha wields absolute, overriding supremacy over the Rajya Sabha.
