Explanation

The Commission for Center-State Relations (Sarkaria Commission) was appointed by the government in 1983 to examine center-state relations, but it was NOT a constitutionally mandated body - it was an administrative commission. The Election Commission (Article 324), National SC/ST Commission (Article 338), and Planning Commission were all constitutional or statutory bodies. Note: the Planning Commission was replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015.
