Delegation of executive functions: Union may entrust matters to States, with compensation mechanisms for extra administrative costs. The President may, with a State government's consent, entrust functions relating to Union executive matters to the State or its officers, conditionally or unconditionally; Parliament may by law confer powers or impose duties on a State or its officers even if the subject lies outside State legislative competence. Where such powers or duties are conferred or imposed, the Government of India must pay the State agreed sums or, failing agreement, sums determined by an arbitrator appointed by the Chief Justice of India for extra administrative costs.
