Question

Which of the following is not provided in the constitution?

• A. Election Commission
• B. Planning Commission
• C. Public Service Commission
• D. Finance Commission

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The question asks which entity is not provided for in the constitution among the given options.

Here, we'll examine each option:

• Election Commission: This is mentioned in the Constitution of India, under Article 324. It is responsible for administering elections in India of the Union and State legislatures and of the offices of the President and Vice-President in the country.
• Planning Commission: This was established in 1950 by an executive resolution of the Government of India, not by a constitutional provision. Its primary function was to create development plans for the country, which aligns with executive responsibilities rather than a constitutional mandate.
• Public Service Commission: Article 315 to 323 in Part XIV of the Constitution provides for a Public Service Commission for the Union and for each State.
• Finance Commission: Provided for by Article 280 of the Constitution, it determines the financial relations between the central government and the individual state governments.

Conclusion: The Planning Commission is not established by the Constitution, hence the correct choice is the Planning Commission.
