• Under this schedule, there are these Autonomous District Councils, which are meant to help the local tribes run their day-to-day administration and decide on certain matters that affect their community life.
• It’s like giving them a bit of self-rule without separating them from the rest of the nation, just to make sure their unique culture and rights gets some protection, especially in areas where normal state laws might not fit perfectly.

• Acording to Article 117, there is this rule about Financial Bills, which says that if any Bill or even a small change in it deals with things like putting new taxes, ending old ones, changing rates, or managing anything related to tax matters, then it can’t just be placed or discussed in Parliament without the President saying yes to it first.
• Also, such a Bill can’t actually start in the Council of States, it must begin only in the other House. But there’s one exception, like if someone only wants to cut down or completely remove a tax, then they don’t really need the President’s permission for that.
