Statement (i) is incorrect because Article 239A is unrelated to this amendment — it pertains to the Delhi legislative assembly created by a different amendment. Statements (ii), (iii), and (iv) accurately describe the provisions of the 106th Amendment regarding women's reservation in Lok Sabha (Art. 330A), census-linked commencement (Art. 334A), and the 15-year validity window.
