Q31 (CDS-I/2009) Polity & Governance › Constitutional Basics & Evolution › Schedules of Constitution Answer Verified

With reference to the Constitution of India, which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India, the distribution of legislative powers is divided into three lists. 'Stock exchanges and futures markets' is explicitly listed as Entry 48 in List I (the Union List), not the State List [t2]. Therefore, the first pair is incorrectly matched. In contrast, 'Insurance' is correctly matched to the Union List as Entry 47 [c3][t2]. 'Forests' was moved from the State List to the Concurrent List (List III, Entry 17A) via the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976. 'Marriage and divorce' is also correctly matched to the Concurrent List under Entry 5 [t7]. The Union List contains subjects of national importance like defense, banking, and insurance, where Parliament has exclusive legislative authority [c3].
