Which one of the following statements is correct as per the Constitution of India ?
Show answer
Answer: C. Entry 81 of the Union List (Seventh Schedule) covers 'Inter-State migration; inter-State quarantine'. So inter-State quarantine is a Union subject. Inter-State trade and commerce (Entry 42) and Corporation tax (Entry 85) are also Union List subjects, not State subjects.
Watch for: Anything 'inter-State' affects more than one State, so it is a Union subject; only trade within a State is a State subject.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because inter-State trade and commerce is in the Union List (Entry 42).
- B. Wrong because inter-State migration is in the Union List (Entry 81).
- D. Wrong because corporation tax is in the Union List (Entry 85).
