DRAFT CONSTITUTION 901
Sir, I have only the comment to offer, that this amendment of mine is more comprehensive than the amendment moved by Dr. Ambedkar.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, all that I would like to say is that whatever Shri Brajeshwar Prasad wants is included in my amendment and it is therefore unnecessary to accept it.
[Shri Brajeshwar Prasad withdrawn the amendment, The amendment of Dr. Ambedkar was adopted. Article 74, as amended was added to the Constitution.]
ENTRY 75
[Amendment to Entry 75 moved by Naziruddin Ahmad was not accepted by Dr. Ambedkar. It was therefore negatived by the House. Entry 75, as amended, was added to the List.]
ENTRY 76
*Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move.
“That for entry 76 of List I, the following entry be substituted :—
‘76. Manufacture, supply and distribution of salt by Union agencies; regulation and control of manufacture supply and distribution of salt by other agencies’.”
[Entry 76 as amended was added to the Union List.]
Shri Mahavir Tyagi: (United Province : General): Sir, when you put the question to vote, Dr. Ambedkar says “Ayes” beyond the mike; with the result that the Ayes have an undue volume of their voice.
ENTRY 79
† The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, with regard to entry
79, I have to make one observation. Some Members of the House are under the impression that if entry 79 remained in List I it would be opened also to the Centre to appropriate the proceeds of any taxes that may be levied on the Stock Exchanges and futures market and taxes other than stamp duties on transactions therein. I would like to make it clear that in putting Stock Exchanges and futures market in List I, there is no intention on the part of the Drafting Committee that the Centre should have any right to appropriate the proceed of any taxes that might be levied under this entry. Consequently, the Drafting Committee proposes, in order to remove all sorts of doubts, to amend article 250 which requires the proceeds of certain taxes to be distributed among the provinces. What we propose to do is,
