what is the difference between special category status and special status
The constitution provides special status through an Act that has to be passed by 2/3rds majority in both the houses of Parliament whereas the special category status is granted by the National Development Council, which is an administrative body of the government.
For example, Jammu and Kashmir enjoyed a special status as per Article 370 and also special category status. But now that Article 35A has been scrapped and it has become a union territory with legislature, special status doesn’t apply to J&K anymore.
Special status empowers legislative and political rights while special category status deals only with economic, administrative and financial aspects.
