The Northern Zonal Council, established under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, comprises the states of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, and the Union Territories of Chandigarh, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh.

Zonal Councils are advisory bodies that aim to promote inter-state cooperation and coordination. They were created to foster a sense of regionalism while ensuring national integration. There are five Zonal Councils: Northern, Central, Eastern, Western, and Southern. A separate North Eastern Council was established by the North Eastern Council Act, 1971.
