As of February 2025, there have been 106[1] amendments of the Constitution of India since it was first enacted in 1950.[2]

The Indian Constitution is the most amended national constitution in the world.[3] 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.

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 must be passed by a "simple majority" in each house of the Parliament of India.
  • The second type of amendment must be passed by a prescribed "special majority" of each house of Parliament; and
  • The third type of amendment must be passed by a "special majority" in each house of Parliament and ratified by at least one half of the State Legislatures. Examples of the third type of amendment include 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.[4]
