Article 258A of the Constitution of India provides that the Governor of a State may, with the consent of the Government of India, entrust functions to that Government or its officers.
Article 258A allows a State, through its Governor and with the Union’s consent, to delegate its executive functions to the Union government or its functionaries. This is the inverse provision of Article 258, which allows the President to entrust Union functions to a State government or its officers.
Article 258A was inserted by the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956. This amendment aimed at improving the administrative relations between the Union and the States by providing flexibility in the delegation of executive functions.
