Indian Constitution Schedules: Matching Features

The Constitution of India includes various schedules that provide additional details about the governance structure and administrative provisions. This question requires matching specific schedules with their corresponding subjects.

Understanding the Schedules

Let's break down each schedule mentioned in Column A and find its correct feature from Column B:

First Schedule: Names of States and Union Territories

The First Schedule of the Indian Constitution lists the names of the States and Union Territories. It also defines their territorial jurisdictions. Therefore, it corresponds to the feature: Names of the States and Union Territories and their territorial jurisdiction.

Match: 1-d

Third Schedule: Forms of Oaths or Affirmations

The Third Schedule contains the prescribed forms of oaths and affirmations that need to be taken by candidates for parliamentary offices, Union and State ministers, judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, etc. Hence, it matches with the feature: Forms of Oaths or Affirmations.

Match: 2-b

Fifth Schedule: Administration of Scheduled Areas and Tribes

The Fifth Schedule is specifically designed to manage and control 'Scheduled Areas' and 'Scheduled Tribes' in states *other than* Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. This aligns with the feature: Administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Tribes (excluding NE states).

Match: 3-c

Seventh Schedule: Allocation of Powers

The Seventh Schedule is crucial for the federal structure as it outlines the legislative powers between the Union (Central government) and the States. It contains three lists: the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List. This corresponds to the feature: Allocation of powers and responsibilities between Union and States.

Match: 4-a

Matching Schedules with Features

Based on the explanations above, we can compile the correct matches:

Schedule (Column A) Feature (Column B) Correct Match
1. First Schedule d. Names of the States and Union Territories and their territorial jurisdiction 1-d
2. Third Schedule b. Forms of Oaths or Affirmations 2-b
3. Fifth Schedule c. Administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Tribes (excluding NE states) 3-c
