All 12 Schedules
Constitution Special · सभी 12 अनुसूचियां
📋Quick Overview
The Indian Constitution originally had 8 Schedules. Today it has 12 Schedules — 4 have been added since 1950. Schedules are supplementary provisions appended to the main text of the Constitution. They contain lists, details, and specifics that would be too lengthy to include in the main articles. The 7th Schedule is the most important for exams as it contains the division of legislative powers between the Centre and States (Union List, State List, Concurrent List).
