The constitutional provisions in India on the subject of distribution of legislative powers between the Union and the States are defined primarily under under its articles 245 and 246. The Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India specifies the allocation of powers and functions between the Union and the State legislatures. It embodies three lists; namely, the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List.[1] The union list enumerates a total of 97 subjects on which the power of the Union parliament extends. Similarly, the state list enumerates a total of 66 subjects for state legislation. The schedule also spells out a concurrent list embodying a total of 47 subjects on which both the union parliament and the state legislatures are empowered to legislate, though this is subject to the other provisions of the constitution.

In addition to demarcating the subjects of Union legislation from those of the states, Article 248 of the constitution also envisages residual powers not catered for in either of the Union or State lists for the Union. It provides, “The Union Parliament has exclusive power to make any law with respect to any matter not enumerated in the Concurrent List or the State List.”
