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

The Concurrent List (List III) of the Seventh Schedule contains subjects on which both Parliament and State Legislatures may make laws. The Union List is reserved for Parliament and the State List mainly for States, so only the Concurrent List is shared.

Explanation

The Concurrent List (List III) covers subjects such as contracts, bankruptcy and criminal law, where both Parliament and State Legislatures may legislate.
