| 42nd Amendment | 1976 | Added 'treaties and agreements with foreign countries and implementing of decisions made at international conferences, associations and other bodies' to the Concurrent List, though this was later moved back to Union List through subsequent interpretation and practice. | Clarified the constitutional framework for international agreements and their implementation, though practical impact was limited as trade agreements remained primarily a Union subject under Article 253 and the Union List entry on foreign trade. |
