The Indian Constitution not only provides for legislative, executive, and judicial organs, but also establishes certain Independent Bodies as bulwarks of the democratic system. Which of the following is NOT explicitly classified as one of these institutional bulwarks?

Explanation

The Election Commission, Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), UPSC, and State Public Service Commissions are constitutional independent bodies envisioned as bulwarks of Indian democracy. In contrast, NITI Aayog is a non-constitutional, non-statutory executive body created via a cabinet resolution, and thus falls outside this permanent constitutional grid.
