Residuary powers (subjects not mentioned in any List) are vested with which level of government in India?
- State Governments
- Union Government
- Local Governments
- Shared equally
Answer: Union Government
Article 248: Residuary powers vested with Parliament (Union). Includes power to make laws on any matter not enumerated in Concurrent or State List, including power to impose taxes not mentioned in either List. Gives Indian federalism strong unitary bias, unlike USA where residuary powers rest with States. Reflects Constituent Assembly's priority for national unity post-Partition.
