Article ___ of the Constitution of India vests the residuary power of legislation in Parliament.

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 248 gives Parliament exclusive power over matters absent from the Concurrent and State Lists, including a tax not mentioned in either list. Article 246 allocates subjects among the lists, Article 247 concerns additional courts and Article 250 emergency legislation on State List matters.

Current law: The 101st Constitutional Amendment introduced Article 246A for GST and made Article 248 expressly subject to Article 246A. The residuary article remains 248.
