Succession to property: constitutional allocation of former State assets and obligations to the Union or successor State. Succession allocates ownership and responsibility for assets, rights, liabilities and obligations of former Indian States: property and assets held for purposes that become Union List matters vest in the Union, and rights, liabilities and obligations relating to Union List subjects become those of the Government of India subject to any agreement with the State. Subject to that allocation, each Part B State is the successor to the corresponding pre Constitutional State for all other property, assets, rights, liabilities and obligations.
