Question

Which of the following list contains maximum number of subjects?

1. State List
2. Union List
3. Concurrent List
4. Residual List

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Union List

The correct answer is Union List.

• The Union List consists of the maximum number of subjects as compared to State List and Concurrent List.
• The central government has absolute power to form laws on the subjects mentioned in the Union List.​

• Since there are more subjects in the Union List than State List the central government has more power than the state governments.
• The Union List contains more important subjects than that are included in the other two lists.     

 

• The 88th Amendment made provisions to include a new subject 'taxes on services' in the Union List.
• The Union List contains 15 subjects on which Parliament has absolute powers to levy taxes.
