As of November 2026, what is the number of the final article of the Constitution of India, and how many schedules does it have?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The final numbered provision is Article 395, and there are 12 schedules. The original Constitution had eight schedules. The First, Fifty-second, Seventy-third and Seventy-fourth Amendments added the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Schedules respectively. Insertions such as Articles 21A and 300A show why the last article number does not give the total number of articles.

Article 395 is the final numbered provision, but eight was the original schedule count.

The Constitution continues beyond Article 391 and contains 12 schedules.
