The Indian Constitution originally contained 8 Schedules when it was adopted in 1950. Over the years, additional schedules were added.
- Schedule 1 deals with the states and union territories of India.
- Schedule 2 outlines the emoluments and allowances for the President, Governors, etc.
- Other schedules deal with various subjects such as official languages, the distribution of power between states and union, and so on.
As the country evolved, the Constitution was amended to include more schedules, and it currently contains 12 Schedules.
Thus, the correct answer is 8.
