As of September 2023, there have been 106[1] amendments of the Constitution of India since it was first enacted in 1950.[2]

There are three types of amendments to the Constitution of India of which the second and third types of amendments are governed by Article 368.

  • The first type of amendment includes that can be passed by a "simple majority" in each house of the Parliament of India.
  • The second type of amendments includes that can be effected by the parliament by a prescribed "special majority" in each house; and
  • The third type of amendments includes those that require, in addition to such a "special majority" in each house of the parliament, ratification by at least one half of the State Legislatures.

The third type amendments that are made to the constitution are amendments No. 3, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 30, 31, 32, 35, 36, 38, 39, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 51, 54, 61, 62, 70, 73, 74, 75, 79, 84, 88, 95, 99, 101 and 104.[3]

Although constitutional amendments require the support of a two-thirds majority in both houses of Parliament (with some amendments requiring ratification by a majority of state legislatures), the Indian Constitution is the most amended national constitution in the world.[4] The Constitution spells out governmental powers with so much detail that many matters addressed by statute in other democracies must be addressed via constitutional amendment in India. As a result, the Constitution is amended roughly twice a year. The main purpose of the amendments is to become more relevant.
