Which of the following is not recognised as a ‘tension’ area in Indian federation ?
(a) Inter-State Council
(b) Article 356
(c) Role of the Governor
(d) Union-State Financial Relations
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In Indian federalism, the discretionary role of the Governor, the imposition of President's Rule under Article 356, and asymmetrical Union-State financial relations are classic 'tension areas' between the Centre and the States. By contrast, the Inter-State Council under Article 263 is an institutional mechanism designed to promote cooperative federalism and resolve inter-governmental disputes.
