Question

An amendment to the Constitution regarding the creating of new States in India will require

A.

2/3rd majority

B.

3/4th majority

C.

simple majority

D.

More than one of the above

E.

None of the above

Correct option is C

The process of creating new States in India or altering the boundaries of existing States is governed by Article 3 of the Constitution of India. Contrary to the process for amending most other parts of the Constitution, which requires a special majority, the creation of new States or the alteration of boundaries can be done by a **simple majority** in Parliament. This means that such a bill needs to be passed by a majority of members present and voting, which constitutes more than half of the total number of members of the House at the time. This provision allows for relatively easier adjustments to the political and administrative boundaries within the Union of India, reflecting the country's dynamic and evolving nature.
