The correct answer is: The planning commission of India is not a state.
The Planning Commission of India was an apex body of the Government of India that was responsible for formulating India’s Five-Year Plans. It was established in 1950 and abolished in 2014.
The Planning Commission was not a state because it was not a constituent unit of the Indian Union. It was an advisory body to the Government of India and had no executive powers.
The Planning Commission was abolished in 2014 and its functions were transferred to the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog).
