Provisions will come into effect from the 18th Lok Sabha.
- 2.
This will be in force for 15 years after becoming an Act.

Options
1, 2 and 3
1 and 2 only
2 and 3 only
1 and 3 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect; the Women's Reservation Bill explicitly ties implementation to the delimitation process that follows the first Census conducted after the bill's passage, so it cannot apply immediately to the 18th Lok Sabha. Statements 2 and 3 are correct; it includes a 15-year sunset clause and establishes horizontal sub-reservation for SC/ST women within the existing SC/ST quotas.
