Under the distribution of legislative powers in the Seventh Schedule, which list contains subjects on which both Parliament and State Legislatures can make laws?

The Concurrent List contains subjects on which both Parliament and State Legislatures can legislate. The Union List is for Parliament and the State List is generally for States. If there is a conflict on a Concurrent subject, the Union law generally prevails.

Explanation

The Seventh Schedule has the Union List (Parliament only), State List (State Legislatures normally) and Concurrent List (both). On Concurrent List subjects, if a State law conflicts with a Union law, the Union law generally prevails. Residuary powers rest with Parliament and are not a Seventh Schedule list.
