• Under Article 368 of the Indian Constitution, the procedure for amending the Constitution falls into different categories depending on whether the amendment affects the federal structure of the country. Because the Seventh Schedule deals with the distribution of legislative powers between the Union and the States (Union List, State List, and Concurrent List), any change to it directly impacts India's federal arrangement.
