Which one of the following Institutions was NOT set up by the Constitution of India ?
Indian Polity, Governance and ConstitutionConstitutional and statutory bodies
- AUnion Public Service Commission
- BElection Commission
- CPlanning Commission
- DUnion Judiciary
Explanation
The Planning Commission was created by a Government of India resolution in March 1950; no constitutional provision establishes it. By contrast, the UPSC (Articles 315–323), the Election Commission (Article 324) and the Union Judiciary (Articles 124–147) are all constitutional bodies. Hence the Planning Commission was NOT set up by the Constitution.
