Setting up of which one of the following not stated in the Constitution of India

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Planning Commission was not stated in the Constitution of India; it was established in 1950 through an executive resolution of the Government of India, making it a non-constitutional and non-statutory body [c1, t8]. In contrast, the other options are explicitly provided for within the constitutional text. The Finance Commission is established under Article 280 as a quasi-judicial body [c5, t4]. The Election Commission of India is an autonomous constitutional authority mandated by Article 324 to oversee elections [t2, t5]. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is directly created by the Constitution under Articles 315-323 [c2, t10]. While constitutional bodies require a formal amendment for structural changes, the Planning Commission (now replaced by NITI Aayog) operated as an advisory organ of the executive [c1, t6].
