The sunset clause in the 106th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2023 provides that the 33% reservation for women in legislatures will remain in force for 15 years, with scope for extension by Parliament. It ensures periodic review of the policy’s effectiveness.
The amendment mandates reservation in the Lok Sabha, State Assemblies and Delhi Assembly, including sub-quotas for SC and ST women. However, its implementation is linked to delimitation, delaying its actual enforcement.
APSC Relevance: Constitutional provisions, women’s reservation and polity.
