Q32 (CDS-I/2013) Polity & Governance › Constitutional & Statutory Bodies › Constitutional statutory bodies Answer Verified

Which one among the following statements with regard to the National Security Council (NSC) of India is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 because it represents an incorrect statement regarding the administrative hierarchy of India's intelligence agencies. The Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) do not report directly to the National Security Council (NSC). Instead, RAW reports to the Cabinet Secretariat (Prime Minister’s Office), and the IB reports to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Regarding the other options:

  • Option 1: Correct. The NSC is a three-tiered structure comprising the Strategic Policy Group, the National Security Advisory Board, and the National Security Council Secretariat.
  • Option 2: Correct. Historically, the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission (now replaced by the Vice-Chairman of NITI Aayog) was a designated member of the NSC.
  • Option 3: Correct. The NSC is indeed the apex body tasked with evaluating and addressing the country’s internal and external security concerns.

Since Option 4 misidentifies the reporting line of intelligence agencies, it is the "not correct" statement.
