Who has the power to make the law with respect to goods and service tax provided under Art, 246-A when the provision of Article 356 is in operation in a State ?
Answer: C
The power lies with Parliament.
Article 246-A gives both Parliament and the State Legislatures power to make laws on goods and services tax. When a proclamation under Article 356 is in force in a State, Article 356(1)(b) declares that the powers of the State Legislature shall be exercisable by or under the authority of Parliament, and Article 357 lets Parliament legislate for the State or delegate that power to the President.
The State Legislature is suspended or dissolved during President's Rule, and the Governor acts only as the President's agent. The President may legislate only if Parliament confers that power on him, so the source of the power is Parliament.
