The 2015 transfer of enclaves under the India–Bangladesh Land Boundary Agreement was given effect by the Constitution (100th Amendment) Act, 2015, which amended the First Schedule in exercise of Parliament's constituent amending power. No separate Indo-Bangladesh executive agreement alone, and no ratification by sixteen states, was the operative procedure.
