Among the given options, the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes is a constitutional body.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-key-points\">\n&#8211; A constitutional body is one that is established by a specific provision of the Constitution of India.<br \/>\n&#8211; The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) was established by Article 338A of the Constitution, inserted by the 89th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003.<br \/>\n&#8211; The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) was established by Article 338 of the Constitution (initially as a Special Officer, later constitutionalized). NCST was created by bifurcating the original NCSC.<br \/>\n&#8211; The National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) was initially a statutory body. It was granted constitutional status by the 102nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2018, which inserted Article 338B.<br \/>\n&#8211; The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) is a statutory body established under the Commissions for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005.<br \/>\n&#8211; The National Commission for Minorities is a statutory body established under the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional-information\">\nGiven that both NCST (B) and NCBC (A) are currently constitutional bodies, this question might be considered flawed if it expects only one correct answer from a recent perspective. However, if the question originated before the 102nd Amendment Act of 2018, then NCBC would have been a statutory body, making NCST the only constitutional body among the options. Assuming the question is intended to have a single correct answer and may reflect an older context, B is the appropriate choice. If the question is from post-2018 and strictly asks for *a* constitutional body, then both A and B fit, but B is the most definitively correct answer that has been constitutional for a longer period. In typical UPSC style multiple-choice questions with a single best answer, there might be a historical context or a subtlety intended. Given the common pre-2018 questions in older test series materials, option B is the likely intended answer.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which one of the following is a constitutional body?
