Procedure, powers and definitions

  • 15In article 368(2), proviso clause (a), “article 162 or article 241” is replaced by “article 162, article 241 or article 279A”.

Section 15 adds article 279A to the specified references in the proviso to article 368(2). It replaces the phrase referring to articles 162 or 241 with a phrase also naming article 279A. The GST Council article therefore becomes expressly included in that part of the constitutional amendment provision, subject to the surrounding terms of the proviso.[1]
