Which one of the following statements with regard to the Amendment of the Constitution of India is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

Under Article 368 of the Indian Constitution, the procedure for amendment is clearly defined. Statement C is incorrect because while many amendments do not require state involvement, those affecting the federal structure of the Constitution (such as the election of the President, the distribution of legislative powers between the Union and States, or the Seventh Schedule) must be ratified by the legislatures of at least one-half of the States.

  • Statement A is correct: An amendment bill can be introduced in either the Rajya Sabha or the Lok Sabha.
  • Statement B is correct: It requires a special majority, which includes at least two-thirds of the members present and voting.
  • Statement D is correct: The 24th Constitutional Amendment Act (1971) made it obligatory for the President to give assent to a Constitutional Amendment Bill, meaning the President cannot return it for reconsideration.
