Question
Who holds the authority to legislate on subjects not listed in the Indian Constitution's Union, State, or Concurrent lists?
Solution
The power to legislate on subjects not mentioned in the Union, State, or Concurrent lists, known as residuary subjects, is vested in the Central Government. Article 248 of the Indian Constitution grants the Parliament exclusive authority to make laws on these matters. This concept of residual powers was borrowed from the Constitution of Canada.
