SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 42

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Mutual transfer of certain territories between India and Bangladesh

The Constitution (One Hundredth Amendment) Act, 2015 is related to the mutual transfer of certain territories between India and Bangladesh. This amendment was enacted to give effect to the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) signed between India and Bangladesh in 1974 and its 2011 Protocol. The agreement aimed to resolve long-standing border disputes by exchanging enclaves and simplifying the international boundary. As part of the deal, India transferred 111 enclaves to Bangladesh, while receiving 51 enclaves in return. This historic move improved diplomatic relations, ensured better governance, and secured the rights of enclave residents by granting them citizenship of their chosen country. The amendment modified the First Schedule of the Constitution to reflect the territorial changes.
