Constitutional Framework
-
India has a federal distribution of legislative, executive and financial powers between the Union and the states.
-
Judicial power is not similarly divided; India has an integrated judicial system enforcing both Union and state laws.
-
Centre-State relations are primarily studied under three heads:
- Legislative relations
- Administrative relations
- Financial relations
-
Effective federalism requires coordination because the Union and states operate within constitutionally assigned spheres.
