State List vs Union List Subjects
Question
Which one of the following statements is correct as per the Constitution of India?
Options
Inter-State trade and commerce is a State subject under the State List.
Inter-State migration is a State subject under the State List.
Inter-State quarantine is a Union subject under the Union List.
Corporation tax is a State subject under the State List.
Explanation
Only statement (c) is correct. Inter-state quarantine is explicitly listed in the Union List (Entry 81), as infectious diseases crossing borders require national coordination. Inter-state trade and commerce (Entry 42), inter-state migration (Entry 81), and Corporation tax (Entry 85) are all also explicitly assigned to the Union List, not the State List.
Answer: (c).
