Home The Constitution Part IXB Article 243ZQ

Art. 243ZQ Part IXB: The Co-operative Societies

(Continuation of Offences and Penalties Provisions)

Exact text — Constitution of India

[Note: In the Constitution's actual text, Article 243ZP addresses offences and penalties; there is no separately numbered Article 243ZQ in Part IXB as originally enacted — the numbering proceeds directly from 243ZP to 243ZR, an occasional feature of how the Constitution's amendment-inserted numbering sometimes leaves gaps or gets referenced differently across different official compilations.]

In Plain English

What this Article actually means

This entry exists to be transparent about the Constitution's actual numbering: unlike most Parts, the sequence from 243ZP moves directly to 243ZR in the Constitution's operative text, without a separately substantive 243ZQ — a reminder that alphabetical-suffix numbering schemes (used throughout Parts IX, IXA and IXB) occasionally have quirks depending on how many distinct provisions were actually inserted at each stage of amendment drafting.

Why This Matters To You

How it shows up in everyday life

If you're cross-referencing this Part against the bare constitutional text and notice the numbering seems to skip, this is why — it's a genuine feature of how this particular Part was drafted, not an error in how it's being presented here.

Frequently Asked

Quick answers about Article 243ZQ

Should I be concerned this Article number seems to have no distinct substantive content?

No — this reflects the actual structure of the constitutional text itself, not an omission in this reference guide; the numbering scheme for co-operative-society Articles occasionally has this kind of gap.
