The 124th Constitution Amendment Bill, 2019 pertains to ____________ .

  • A.Merging of nationalized banks
  • B.Scrapping the special status of Jammu and Kashmir
  • C.Same-sex marriage
  • D.Reservation for economically weaker sections in Government jobs and education

Answer: D

The bill pertains to reservation for economically weaker sections in Government jobs and education.

The Constitution (124th Amendment) Bill, 2019, passed in January 2019, became the Constitution (103rd Amendment) Act. It inserted Articles 15(6) and 16(6) to allow up to 10% reservation for economically weaker sections among those not covered by existing reservations.

The special status of Jammu and Kashmir was ended through presidential orders and a reorganisation Act in August 2019, not by this bill. Bank mergers and same-sex marriage were not its subject.
