Q1. Which of the following statements about the Women's Reservation amendment being considered by Parliament in April 2026 is correct?

A It will operationalise reservation based on the 2027 Census
B It seeks to implement women's reservation by March 31, 2029 Correct
C It will be passed by simple majority in Lok Sabha only
D It repeals the 128th Amendment Bill of 2023

Explanation

The proposed amendments aim to implement the women's quota by March 31, 2029, in time for the next Lok Sabha elections and assembly polls in Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Andhra Pradesh. The amendment uses 2011 Census (not 2027) and, being a Constitutional Amendment, requires a two-thirds majority in both Houses. It amends, not repeals, the 2023 Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam (the Act that originated as the 128th Constitutional Amendment Bill).

Q2. Under the proposed amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam discussed in the April 16-18, 2026 Parliament special session, what will be the total strength of the Lok Sabha?

A 816 seats with 273 reserved for women Correct
B 543 seats with 181 reserved for women
C 753 seats with 251 reserved for women
D 888 seats with 296 reserved for women

Explanation

The draft amendments cleared by the Cabinet propose to increase the Lok Sabha from 543 to 816 seats, with 273 seats (approximately one-third) reserved for women, using 2011 Census data rather than waiting for delimitation based on the 2027 Census.
