Question:

Options:

State list

Concurrent list

Union list

All of the above

Correct Answer:

Concurrent list

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - Concurrent list

The Third List, the Concurrent list contained subjects that were shared between the Centre and State.

The Draft Constitution provided for three lists of subjects: Union, State, and Concurrent. The subjects in the first list were to be the preserve of the Central Government, while those in the second list were vested with the states. As for the third list, here Centre and state shared responsibility. However, many more items were placed under exclusive Union control than in other federations, and more placed on the Concurrent list too than desired by the provinces. The Union also had control of minerals and key industries.
