Question

With whom are the residuary powers vested in India?

Answer 1

In India, the residuary powers are vested with the Central Government.

According to Article 248 of the Indian Constitution, any subject matter that is not mentioned in the Union List, State List, or Concurrent List is considered a residuary subject. The Parliament has exclusive power to make laws on such matters. This is a clear unitary feature of the Indian federal system, as in many other federations (like the USA), residuary powers are given to the states.
