{'indian union': [2, 0, 3, 0], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'fifth': [2, 1, 5, 2], 'new state': [2, 0, 1, 4], 'third': [2, 1, 3, 6], 'schedules': [2, 1, 3, 3]}
If a new State of the Indian Union is to be created, the First Schedule of the Constitution must be amended.
The First Schedule of the Constitution of India contains the list of states and union territories along with their territorial boundaries and other related information. If a new state is to be created, it would involve amending this schedule to include the new state and define its boundaries and other relevant details.
Therefore, the correct answer is the First Schedule.
