Explanation

The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of India specifically deals with the allocation of seats in the Council of States, also known as the Rajya Sabha, to the various States and Union Territories [1]. This allocation is primarily based on the population of each state [1]. Articles 4(1) and 80(2) are the constitutional provisions associated with this schedule. Regarding the other options, the Fifth and Sixth Schedules deal with the administration of tribal and scheduled areas [3]. The Seventh Schedule contains the Union, State, and Concurrent Lists which define the distribution of legislative powers. The Eighth Schedule lists the recognized languages of India. Therefore, the Fourth Schedule is exclusively concerned with the representation of states in the upper house of Parliament.
