Concurrent List (List III) The Concurrent List contains subjects on which both Parliament and state legislatures can make laws. In case of a conflict, the Central law prevails. It includes 52 subjects, focusing on areas requiring cooperative federalism such as education, forests, and labor welfare. 1.1 Scope of the Study This study deals with an important aspect of Indian federalism, namely, the concurrent powers of legislation under the Constitution. The subject of federalism in any country covers a vast area, embracing legislative, executive and judicial powers, as distributed between the federal union and its units. Distribution of legislative power is only one branch of the subject; and in that branch, the topic of concurrent legislative power is only a sub-branch (so to say). The web page shows the full text of the List I of the Union List, which enumerates the subjects that are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Union government of India. The List I includes topics such as defence, foreign affairs, currency, banking, trade, and communication. The Concurrent List is a schedule of the Indian Constitution that lists the subjects on which both the Union and the States can make laws. It covers topics such as criminal law, education, trade, price control, and forests.
