Question and options
Which of these bodies was NOT created by the Constitution of India?
Election Commission.
Planning Commission.
Finance Commission.
Comptroller and Auditor-General.
Answer and explanation
The Planning Commission was set up in 1950 by a resolution of the Union Government, so it was an executive, not a constitutional, body; it was replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015. The Constitution itself provides for the Election Commission in Article 324, the Finance Commission in Article 280 and the Comptroller and Auditor-General in Article 148.
