The National Commission for Women was created by an Act passed by the Parliament.

The National Commission for Women was established as a statutory body in January 1992 under the National Commission for Women Act, 1990. An Act passed by the Parliament is the legal basis for its creation and functioning.

Constitutional bodies are those established directly by the Constitution (e.g., Election Commission, UPSC). Statutory bodies are those established by an Act of Parliament or a State Legislature (e.g., NCW, NHRC, NITI Aayog – though NITI Aayog is by executive resolution, its predecessor Planning Commission was neither constitutional nor statutory). The National Commission for Women is a statutory body. It was not created by a constitutional amendment, a cabinet decision alone, or a presidential order without underlying legislation.
