The Indian Constitution divides legislative subjects into three lists:
Union List: 100 subjects, where only the Central Government can legislate.
State List: 61 subjects, where only State Governments can legislate.
Concurrent List: 52 subjects, where both the Central and State Governments can legislate.
The Union list has 100 subjects, the State list has 61 subjects, and the Concurrent List has 52 subjects summarized under it.
The union list details the subjects on which Parliament may make laws while the state list details those under the purview of state legislatures.
The concurrent list on the other hand has subjects in which both Parliament and state legislatures have jurisdiction. However the Constitution provides federal supremacy to Parliament on concurrent list items in case of a conflict.
