Under the Constitution of India, labour welfare matters such as trade unions and industrial and labour disputes are placed in which legislative list, allowing both Parliament and State Legislatures to make laws?

The Concurrent List. Matters like trade unions and industrial and labour disputes fall in the Concurrent List of the Seventh Schedule, so both Parliament and State Legislatures may legislate on them, which is why the Labour Codes are central laws with state rules.

  4. DResiduary List

Explanation

Trade unions, industrial and labour disputes, and social security appear in the Concurrent List (Seventh Schedule). Hence both Parliament and State Legislatures can legislate, with Parliamentary law prevailing in case of repugnancy as per constitutional rules. The Union List option is wrong because labour is not exclusive to the Centre.
