B refers to the budget session of the legislature. The administrative capital in bold lettering is the main capital of the state.

Notes
[1] Andhra Pradesh was formed combining erstwhile Andhra Rashtram and Telugu speaking regions of Madras Presidency and Hyderabad princely state. [2] Shillong was the joint capital of Meghalaya and Assam in 1971, after Meghalaya split from Assam. [3] Chandigarh is the capital of the states of Punjab and Haryana, and is a Union Territory, separate from the two states. [4] Panaji was the capital of Goa from 1843 when it was ruled by the Portuguese. [5] Nagpur was the capital of Central Provinces and Berar which was a province from 1861 until 1950. It became the major constituent of Madhya Pradesh, after it was formed in 1950. Nagpur remained the capital of the new state. In 1956, Berar (Vidarbha) was separated from Madhya Pradesh, and merged with the Bombay State. Nagpur thus lost the status of a capital city. In 1960, under the Nagpur pact, Nagpur became the second capital of Maharashtra. [6] Mumbai (Bombay) was the capital of Bombay Presidency which was a province until 1950. After that it became the capital of Bombay State, which was split into Gujarat and Maharashtra in 1960. [7] In 1960, under the Nagpur pact, Nagpur became the second capital of Maharashtra. Although an official notification to this effect was only given in 1988. The India yearbook of the government of India still does not mention Nagpur, being either the second or winter capital of Maharashtra.
