J&K question from Sub Inspector exam, 2022 by JKSSB

A list of all the Central laws made applicable to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is provided under which Schedule of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019?

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option D — Fifth Schedule
Section 95(1) of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, explicitly states that all Central laws in Table-1 of the Fifth Schedule shall apply to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir (and Ladakh) from the appointed day. The Fifth Schedule contains Table-1 listing the Central laws made applicable to these Union Territories (106 such laws were extended, as noted in various official summaries and the Act itself).

The First Schedule relates to amendments for territorial descriptions in the Constitution.
The Second Schedule deals with amendments to parliamentary constituencies/delimitations.
The Third Schedule covers assembly constituencies.
The Fourth Schedule provides forms of oaths and affirmations.

Thus, the list of Central laws applicable is specifically under the Fifth Schedule. This is confirmed in the Act's text, PRS India summaries, and reliable sources like Testbook and official gazette references.1.9sFast
