UPSC 2025: Consider the following subjects under the Constitution of India: I. List I — Union List, in the Seventh Schedule II. Extent of the executive power of a State III. Conditions of the Governor’s office For a constitutional amendment with respect to which of the above, ratification by the Legislatures of not less than one-half of the States is required before presenting the Bill to the President of India for assent?
(a)I and II only
(b)II and III only
(c)I and III only
(d)I, II and III
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) I and II only
The proviso to Article 368(2) requires ratification by at least half of the State legislatures when an amendment affects (i) any of the Lists in the Seventh Schedule and (ii) Article 162 (extent of the executive power of a State). It does not list provisions relating to the ‘conditions of the Governor’s office’, so item III does not need such ratification. Therefore only I and II require ratification.
