Analysis
Neither the National Development Council nor the Planning Commission was mentioned in the Constitution of India; both were extra-constitutional bodies. Zonal Councils are also not constitutional bodies and were established under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956. Therefore, all three bodies do not find mention in the Constitution.
