How martial law impact the centre state reln?
Under Martial Law, the area comes under the administration of the Military. Central government has influence over Military so indirectly they can make the Military govern the particular area under their discretion.
Normally, the people elect a state government to govern/administer a state. But as under Military Law, the Military rules over the area and there is a possibility of Central Government influencing military’s decisions, it can be viewed as a breach by Central Government on federal powers of the states via Military.
Another example can be, let’s take AFSPA. Usually a chief minister along with the COM, elected by the people, administers the state or area. But the governor can declare, AFSPA in a particular area of the state, and Governor being the Centre’s agent in the state, can make decisions based on Centre’s whims, affecting the federal structure and hence the federal power of the state.
Good explanation but needs a cetrtain amends.
Basically the Martial Law is provided under article 34 of the Indian Constitution which implies that executive in India can directly implement Martial Law in a particular area. Since it is executive which is implementing the martial law, the centre exercises the power over the areas governed by the Military. Hence it affects centre-state relations as Centre exercises power over the area which should have been under the administrative control of the State.
Second, AFSPA is a cause of dispute between the centre and state but in it, the powers of the State Administrations are not altered. It's just that military gets more power in that area but the Civil Administration runs parallel to the presence of the military. In the military rule, civil administration along with ordinary law courts stand suspended absolutely and hence it affects the centre-state relations.

In the first paragraph that you wrote, I cannot churn out what different you tried to mention. I felt that I also said the same thing but in a complicated manner and you explained the same point that I tried to explain but in a simple manner.
And thank you for clarifying upon the AFSPA example. But over here, I meant to say that, under normal circumstances let’s say , maintaining law and order is a state subject and the state does it via police machinery. But if AFSPA is declared by a governor, it means that at the specified area, the police surveillance ceases and law and order is now maintained by military/ CAF. And since Centre has influence/control over the Military/CAF, the federal power of state gets affected. For a hypothetical example, let’s suppose in Odisha there is a Maoist residing in a village who is protected by the State Government via police for unknown reasons. The police patrols his village and even sometimes guard his home to make sure that his life is not in danger. Let’s say he is brother of some MLA of ruling party. Now centre knows that this person is dangerous and wants to get rid off him. So if AFSPA is declared, the Military or the armed force can be used by the centre to eliminate that person. So in this way, the State’s federal power I.e. maintaining law and order via police was bypassed through AFSPA though the state was using that power for a wrong purpose. Again , this is a hypothetical example. Feel free to correct me again if I’m wrong anywhere.

AFSPA is not an example of martial law. It comes under the Union's powers under Entry 2A of Union List
2A. Deployment of any armed force of the Union or any other force subject to the control of the Union or any contingent or unit thereof in any State in aid of the civil power; powers, jurisdiction, privileges and liabilities of the members of such forces while on such deployment
As@Thinker said, the state government is not suspended which will happen under martial law.

Okay!
Thanks for the clarification.
Now I’m clear with the differences between Martial Law and AFSPA.
But I also read an article which said that AFSPA is a de facto proclamation of Martial Law and hence was confused.
I am sharing a piece from that article below.
[The AFSPA authorizes the deployment of the military in any area that has been so notified under the disturbed area notification issued under section three of the AFSPA. When the military is so deployed, it is supposed to cooperate with the civilian authorities but there is no need for the military to act under their command and control. Clearly then, the military acts independent of the civilian authority in the area where the military is deployed. Is the issuance of a disturbed area notification, therefore, a de facto proclamation of Martial Law? This article argues that it is. The existence of civilian authority in an area where the military has been deployed to maintain law and order is no ground to conclude that the area is not under Martial Law. The key factor is whether the military is acting under the command and control of the civilian authority or independent of it. Obviously, the military will act in cooperation with the local civilian authority once it is deployed in the area, but there is no legal obligation for the military to do so. In the case of a conflict, the military commander will clearly outrank and out-command the civilian authority. If such is the situation, then the area is under Martial Law, by whatever name we call it.]
Hey. I have been solving the SIMULATOR TESTS of 2019 also. Can anyone post the cutoffs of those tests also ... if you have them? or like the range of marks a candidate should ideally score? I have done Simulator 3 and 4 and have got between 90-95 marks.@forumiasacademy
Thanks!

Try being in 110 range. That is a good score.
Cut off is something we introduced this year only. Cut offs for 2019 were not declared.
However, you can expect that test series folks across all coachings and websites will start declaring cut off everywhere from next year.
Shambhavi_singh,Hello, this post is just to create pressure on myself so that I do not slack off and keep giving tests timely. My scores are no metric for comparision, neither am I capable of giving any advice on any matter. That being said -
Simulator 0 - 123.34
Simulator 1 - 105.33
Simulator 2 - 130.67
Simulator 3 - 122.67
Simulator 4 - 103.34
Simulator 5 - 122.67
Abhyaas Test 1 - 105.34
My only purpose for posting these scores on a public forum is to build pressure on myself. If I've transgressed in any manner - I apologize in advance, and I'll promptly take this post down if asked.
Simulator 5
In this question it says broadband to all but the objective of the mission is broadband to all villages.
Shouldn't the answer be B 2 and 3 ?

Simulator 2 was TRICKY! How did you score this much? Can you share some of your inputs please :( ? I could only get a meager 80.

@ishitatri The answer should be C .The issuer doesnt have the responsibility to pay back theINTERESTand not PRINCIPAL.Banks and Corporates do use it . There is nothing wrong in D
Hello,
Message from the academy.
The issuer does not have the responsibility to pay back the principle. Since principle is never returned therefore it is called perpetual bond.
Secondly, they are treated like an equity instrument and not a conventional debt instrument.
The word focused on is debt. Which is incorrect.
