Which one of the following statements with regard to the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) was established under Article 338A of the Constitution [2]. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Commission submits its reports to the President of India, not directly to the Lok Sabha. The President then causes these reports to be laid before each House of Parliament (both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha), along with a memorandum explaining the action taken on the recommendations. Statement 1 is correct as Article 338A(9) mandates that the Union and State Governments consult the Commission on major policy matters affecting Scheduled Tribes [4]. Statement 3 is correct because the Commission, while investigating matters or inquiring into complaints, is vested with the powers of a Civil Court [2]. Statement 4 is correct as the Commission has the constitutional authority to regulate its own procedure [2].
