Hello Dear,
Good Question..Your Answer is Here,
Yes, India is a federation with unitary features.
In India , A unitary system is governed constitutionally as one single unit. with one constitutionally created legislature {Constitution} .
So besides the federal features Indian constitution also possess some unitary or non-federal features. Some of them are here:-
1→→Single Constitution - Usually in a Federal Country , The state have a right to Frame their own constitution ,Which is to be separate from the center. But in India , There is no such power given to the state. State have to obey the central constitution in a single Frame.
2→→Strong Centre - In India the division of Power is in the favour of Centre , though highly inequitable from the federal angle.
3→→ Emergency Provision - The constitution permits three types of Emergency Under three Articles. These are-
a) National Emergency - Under Article 352
b) Constitutional Emergency- Under Article 356
c) Financial Emergency- Under Article 360
In case of any of the emergency , State goes under the total control of the Centre. All the power will authorized by the central government in this case
It Convert the federal feature in to Unitary One.
4→→Integrated Judiciary - At the apex of the judiciary of India , Supreme court supervises. The single system of judiciary influence it controls on the high courts which further influences it controls into the city courts.
5→→Veto over any State Bills - The governor is empowered to preserve some bills & present it to the president for his /her assents. The President can refuse to give his assent on some bills, Which are thus returned to state legislature for consideration.
Thus the President enjoys absolute Veto .

Answer:
India have both unitary and federal provision in the written constitution.
Explanation:
Federal Provisions: Written constitution, Bicameralism, two government, division of powers, supremacy of constitution.
Unitary features: Strong centre, Single constitution, Indestructible states, Unequal representation in upper house, Single citizenship and so on. There are many federal and unitary provisions in our constitution but some extreme circumstances unitary overtakes the federal features to destroy the states sovereignty and autonomy. Independent judiciary restores many federal features for states from making of constitution.
