Which five provisions of Indian Constitution make India a full-fledged federation?

Explanation

A federation is a country in which the powers are divided between the union and its constituents. India is an example of holding together federation, where the country decides to create constituent units, thereby dividing the powers and duties between the centre and the states.
The following are the five provisions that make India a full-fledged federation. Two or more levels of government: We have a federal system whereby the constitution has more than two tiers of the government, viz the Union Government, State Governments and Local Government. This implies that there are more than two levels of government administration among which powers are divided and duties are given. Three Lists: The powers are divided between the Centre and the States by three Lists: Union list, State List and Concurrent list. Union List deals with the issues relating to the Centre, State List deals with the issues relating to the States and Concurrent List deals with the matters of both the Centre and the States. Rigid Constitution: The Government of India is governed by the Constitution of India and it is considered the Supreme Power in the Country. It is not an easy task to amend the constitution. For a constitutional provision to be amended, it requires ratification by half of the State Legislatures, failing which the Constitution cannot be amended.
Bicameral Legislature: India has a bicameral legislature which means that the Parliament consists of two houses, viz, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. One represents the country and the other represents the interest of the constituent states.
Financial Autonomy: The revenue sources of both the Centre and States have been clearly defined, that ensures financial autonomy to both the Centre and the States. In layman.s language, the Centre and the State have different sources of income, which means they are independent of each other when it comes to revenue.
Independent judiciary: Independent judiciary is the essence of federal government. Here, courts have the power to interpret the constitution and the powers of the different levels of government. In India, the highest court—the Supreme Court acts as an umpire if a dispute arises between the different levels of government in the exercise of their respective powers.
