In the Federation established under the Act of 1935, residuary powers were given to the

The Government of India Act of 1935

It provided for the establishment of an All-India Federation consisting of provinces and princely states as units.
The Act divided the powers between the Centre and units in terms of three lists-

• Federal List (for Centre, with 59 items),
• Provincial List (for provinces, with 54 items) and
• the Concurrent List (for both, with 36 items).

Residuary powers were given to the Viceroy. However, the federation never came into being as the princely states did not join it.
