[amp_mcq option1=”Union Public Service Commission” option2=”Finance Commission” option3=”Planning Commission” option4=”Election Commission” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (c). The Planning Commission was an extra-constitutional body in India that was set up in 1950 to formulate the country’s five-year plans. It was abolished in 2014 and replaced by the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog).<\/p>\n
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is a constitutional body that is responsible for conducting the civil services examination in India. The Finance Commission is a constitutional body that is responsible for recommending the distribution of central taxes between the central government and the state governments. The Election Commission is a constitutional body that is responsible for conducting elections in India.<\/p>\n
The Planning Commission was an extra-constitutional body because it was not mentioned in the Constitution of India. It was set up by an executive order of the Prime Minister of India. The Planning Commission was abolished in 2014 because it was seen as being too powerful and bureaucratic. The NITI Aayog was set up in its place to be a more efficient and effective body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
