Which one among the following pairs of Subjects and Lists under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India is not correctly matched?
General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AForest : Concurrent List
- BTaxes on land and building : State List
- CInsurance : Union List
- DCensus : Concurrent List
Explanation
Census is a Union List subject (Entry 69 of the Union List), not a Concurrent List subject, so the Census–Concurrent List pair is wrongly matched. The other pairs are correct: forests were moved to the Concurrent List by the 42nd Amendment (1976), taxes on land and buildings is a State List subject, and insurance is a Union List subject. Entry 69 of the Union List covers 'census', placing it exclusively in Parliament's legislative domain.
