Q92 (NDA-II/2011) Polity & Governance › Federalism & Emergency Provisions › Seventh Schedule lists Answer Verified

Which one among the following pairs is not correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution distributes legislative powers between the Union and States through three lists. Banking is explicitly listed under Entry 45 of the Union List [4]. Agriculture is a subject under the State List [4]. Marriage and divorce are included in the Concurrent List [4]. Education was originally a State subject but was moved to the Concurrent List (Entry 25) by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 [4]. Residuary powers, as per Article 248, refer to subjects not mentioned in any of the three lists, such as cyber law, and are vested in the Parliament [3]. Since Education is a defined subject in the Concurrent List, it cannot be classified as a Residuary subject. Therefore, the pair 'Residuary List: Education' is incorrectly matched.
