The correct answer is Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The question asks to identify the body that is NOT a constitutional body. A constitutional body is an organization established by or under the Constitution of India. Its powers, functions, and structure are defined within the constitution itself.
Let's examine the options:
- National Commission for Backward Classes: This commission is a constitutional body established under Article 338B of the Indian Constitution.
- Election Commission of India: The Election Commission is also a constitutional body, its provisions laid down in Part XV of the Constitution.
- Reserve Bank of India: The RBI is a statutory body established under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. It is not mentioned in the constitution, and its powers are derived from the Act, making it a non-constitutional body.
- Comptroller and Auditor-General of India (CAG): The CAG is a constitutional body whose role and powers are defined in Article 148 and other articles of the Indian Constitution.
Therefore, the Reserve Bank of India is the only option that is not a constitutional body, as its establishment and functioning are governed by a separate Act of Parliament, not the Constitution itself.
