In order to form a new State, which Schedule in the Constitution of India needs to be amended?
Answer: D
The schedule to be amended is the First Schedule.
The First Schedule lists the states and union territories and their territories. Forming a new state under Articles 2 and 3 therefore changes it. Such a law is not treated as a constitutional amendment under Article 368, by Article 4.
The Second Schedule deals with the salaries and allowances of constitutional office holders, the Third with the forms of oaths and affirmations, and the Tenth with disqualification on grounds of defection. (The Fourth Schedule, on Rajya Sabha seats, also changes when a state is formed, but it is not among the options.)
