Detailed Solution

The Union Government has the power to make laws on the ‘residuary’ subjects. Matters that are not assigned to any of the three lists are called residuary subjects. The right to legislate on these issues is called residual power. According to the Constitution, the federal government has the power to legislate the rest of the subject. For example, cyber security is the residuary item as it is not on any of the three lists in the Constitution. Hence, the union government has the power to legislate on it.
