Which one of the following pairs of the Schedule in the Constitution of India and its Content is not correctly matched ? Schedule Content
Explanation
The Second Schedule of the Constitution of India is not correctly matched with 'forms of oaths and affirmations'. Instead, the Second Schedule contains provisions relating to the emoluments, allowances, and privileges of high-ranking officials such as the President, Governors, Speaker, and Judges. The forms of oaths and affirmations for public officials, including members of Parliament and the Judiciary, are actually prescribed in the Third Schedule [3]. The other pairs are correctly matched: the Eighth Schedule lists the 22 recognized official languages [3], the Fourth Schedule details the allocation of seats in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) for each State and Union Territory [3], and the Tenth Schedule contains the anti-defection provisions regarding disqualification of members [3].
