As per Article 3 of the Constitution, an Ordinary Legislation is to be passed to create a new state/ change the name and area of states. (Eg: Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 created new state Telengana)

Such legislation require permission from the President for its introduction. Besides, the President must also refer the bill to the concerned state legislature. However, the views expressed by the state legislature is not binding upon the President.
