Key Provisions of the 2019 Act
UT of Jammu and Kashmir: Created with a legislature. It follows a model similar to Puducherry, where there is an elected Legislative Assembly and a Lieutenant Governor.
UT of Ladakh: Created without a legislature. It is administered directly by the President of India through a Lieutenant Governor. It comprises two districts: Kargil and Leh.

A) Jammu: This is a division within the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, not a separate Union Territory.
B) Jammu and Kashmir: As mentioned, this UT was granted a legislature (though its functioning depends on the conduct of assembly elections).
C) Kargil: This is a district within the Union Territory of Ladakh, not a standalone UT.
