When Governor returns a Bill to Govt, it can send Bill again to Governor with or without Amendments

When a State Legislative passes a Bill, it is sent to Governor for signature. When Governor signs it, it become Law.

At this Stage, if Governor thinks that certain provisions in Bill require re-look by Legislative Body, then it sends it to Government with suggestions.

But it is up to to State Legislative Assembly to accept or to reject such suggestions.

If it accept suggestions, it can send amended Bill to Governor for signature.

If it rejects suggestions of Governor, it can send Bill again to Governor without amending Bill.

This time, Governor has to sign the Bill

Such are the provision in Constitution.
