The SRC's recommendations, presented in 1955, provided a comprehensive blueprint for reorganizing India’s states and territories.

This amendment brought about significant changes to the structure of India’s states and their governance, streamlining the country’s administrative divisions in line with the recommendations of the SRC.

Article 1 of the Constitution was amended to remove provisions related to earlier four-fold classification of States.

Amendments were made to Seventh Schedule related to acquisition of property and "ancient and historical monuments and records, and archaeological sites and remains".

Changes were made to the verbiage and terms used in several articles to account for the new States and Union Territories scheme and for removal of difficulties.
