Reorganization of States
- A Bill seeking to create a new State or alter boundaries of existing States can be introduced in either House of the Parliament, only on the recommendation of the President.
- President refers the State Reorganization Bill to the State Legislature concerned for its opinion, fixing a time limit.
- Parliament is not bound to accept or act upon the views of the State Legislature on a state Reorganization Bill. The State Reorganization Bill requires simple majority in both Houses of the Parliament.
- It is not necessary to obtain the views of legislatures of Union territories before a bill affecting their boundaries or names is introduced.
