Correct Answer: The powers, which have not been specifically enumerated in the Union List, State List and Concurrent List.


Solution : The correct answer is The powers, which have not been specifically enumerated in the Union List, State List and Concurrent List.

In the Indian Constitution, "Residuary powers" relate to legislative jurisdiction over topics not expressly specified in the Union List, State List, or Concurrent List. These unallocated powers are granted to the Central Government, allowing it to legislate on subjects that are not within the competence of particular states or concurrent jurisdictions. This guarantees that a mechanism exists at the national level to resolve legal gaps and developing demands.
