What is the purpose of these powers?
The purpose of these powers is to allow the President, and before the commencement of the Constitution, the Governor-General of the Dominion of India, to make adaptations or amendments to the Constitution for the purpose of removing any difficulties, particularly in relation to the transition from the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935, to the provisions of this Constitution. This is done to ensure a smooth transition and proper functioning of the new constitution.
