Part XI of the Indian constitution specifies the distribution of legislative, administrative and executive powers between the Union or Federal or Central government, and the States of India . The legislative powers are categorised under the Union List, a State List and a Concurrent List, representing, respectively, the powers conferred upon the Union government, those conferred upon the State governments and the shared powers . </P> <P> The federalism is asymmetric in that the devolved powers of the constituent units are not all that same . The state of Jammu and Kashmir was accorded a higher degree of autonomy than other States under the Article 370 . The Union Territories are unitary type directly governed by the Union government though Article 1 (1) of the constitution stipulates a two tier - governance with an additional local elected government by the local citizens throughout the country . However, Delhi and Puducherry have been accorded their own legislatures under Article 239AA and 239A respectively . </P>
