Let’s check the establishment dates of the commissions: Election Commission (Jan 25, 1950), Planning Commission (Mar 1950), Finance Commission (1951), Investment Commission (2004).

Arranging them chronologically based on their formation gives the sequence: Election Commission, Planning Commission, Finance Commission, Investment Commission.

The Election Commission and Finance Commission are constitutional bodies established under specific articles. The Planning Commission was an extra-constitutional body established by executive resolution (replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015). The Investment Commission was an advisory body.
