With reference to India, consider the following: I. The Inter-State Council II. The National Security Council III. Zonal Councils How many of the above were established as per the provisions of the Constitution of India?

The Inter-State Council was established in 1990 by a Presidential Order under Article 263 of the Constitution, so it is constitutional in basis. The National Security Council was set up in 1998 by an executive order of the Government of India, not by any constitutional provision. Zonal Councils were established by the States Reorganisation Act of 1956 (a statutory body), not by the Constitution. Only the Inter-State Council was established as per the provisions of the Constitution.
