– The Planning Commission was responsible for formulating India’s Five-Year Plans. It was established by an executive resolution in 1950. Like the NDC, it was neither a constitutional body nor a statutory body. The Planning Commission was replaced by the NITI Aayog in 2015, which is also an extra-constitutional body established by executive resolution.
– Zonal Councils are advisory bodies established under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. They are statutory bodies (created by an Act of Parliament), but not constitutional bodies (created by the Constitution itself).
