Distribution of Legislative Powers: Over which subjects does the Indian Parliament ordinarily enjoy legislative power? Base your answer on the Seventh Schedule: Union, State and Concurrent Lists. Choose the correct coverage.

What is being asked?
The usual scope of Parliament's legislative competence.

Given data

• Seventh Schedule distribution

Concept/Approach
Parliament legislates on the Union List and shares competence on the Concurrent List. It legislates on the State List only in exceptional circumstances (e.g., national emergency, Rajya Sabha resolution under Article 249, state consent under Article 252), so option (d) is not the ordinary case.

Final Answer
Both the Union List and the Concurrent List
