UPSC Previous Year Question | Prelims GS | 2024

Which one of the following statements is correct as per the Constitution of India?

  1. Inter-State trade and commerce is a State subject under the State List.
  2. Inter-State migration is a State subject under the State List.
  3. Inter-State quarantine is a Union subject under the Union List.
  4. Corporation tax is a State subject under the State List.

Answer

Correct Answer

Inter-State quarantine is a Union subject under the Union List.

Explanation

Inter-State quarantine is specifically included in the Union List under the Seventh Schedule. Inter-State trade and commerce is also a Union subject, not a State subject, making option A incorrect. Inter-State migration is not assigned to the State List as stated in option B. Corporation tax is a Union subject, not a State subject, so option D is also incorrect.
