The revised Political Map of India and the map of the Union
Territory of Ladakh issued by the Survey of India assign
Gilgit and Baltistan (GB) to Ladakh. As per the earlier
distribution of constituencies, 24 seats were set aside for all
the territories under the occupation of Pakistan. The Jammu
and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 (Sec 14(4)) assigns
all the 24 seats, including those of GB, to the Union
Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. So, GB is territorially
included in Ladakh that does not have a legislature, while it
falls in Jammu and Kashmir for legislative and electoral
purposes.
