The Constitution of India adopts a threefold distribution of the subjects of legislative power between the Parliament and State legislature by placing them in any one of the three Lists, namely, Union List, State List and Concurrent List.
Complex modern governmental administration in a federal setup providing for distribution of legislative powers may rise such a situation that a subject of legislation may not squarely fall in any specific entry in the three Lists. In such a situation Parliament would have the power to legislate on the subject in the exercise of residuary powers under Article 248 and under Article 246(1) read with Entry 97 of List I.
Article 248 vests the residuary powers in the parliament. It says that parliament has exclusive power to make any law with respect to any matter not enumerated in the Concurrent List or the State List. Entry 97 in the Union List also lay down that Parliament has exclusive power to make laws with respect to any matter not mentioned in the State List or the Concurrent List including any tax not mentioned in either of these Lists.
Thus the Indian Constitution makes a departure from the practice prevalent in U.S.A., Switzerland and Australia where residuary powers are vested in the states. This reflects the leanings of the Constitution-makers towards a strong Centre in a federal setup.
