How many schedules are there in the Constitution of India originally?
Correct Answer:
A. 8
Explanation:
The original Constitution of India, adopted in 1949 and enacted on January 26, 1950, initially contained 8 schedules. These supplementary tables provided administrative details for various articles, such as the list of states, official salaries, and the division of powers between the Union and states. While the document has since been expanded to include 12 schedules through various constitutional amendments—including the addition of the Ninth Schedule in 1951 and the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth schedules in later decades—the original count at the time of its commencement was 8.
