Who is the ex-officio chairman of Planning Commission?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Prime Minister
The Prime Minister was the ex-officio Chairman of the Planning Commission, with a Deputy Chairman of cabinet rank running it day to day. The arrangement reflected the Commission's standing: it was created by a Cabinet resolution in 1950 rather than by statute, and its authority came from the Prime Minister's own.
The pattern survived the institution. The Planning Commission was replaced by NITI Aayog in January 2015, and the Prime Minister is likewise its ex-officio Chairperson, with a Vice-Chairperson in the executive role.
