Extra constitutional bodies or Non-constitutional bodies derive their authority by a law created by the parliament, an ordinance promulgated by the president or an executive order. It does not have mention in the constitution. (1) Statutory Body: Created by a law passed by the parliament. Example - Information commission, National Human Rights Commission (formed to conform to United Nations charter on Human rights), Lokpal, CBI. (2) Executive bodies: Created by an executive order - i.e. order of a ministry of union or state. Such bodies have no constitutional or law backing them. Example: Planning commission (now replaced by MT' Aayog), UIDAI (Aadhar card).
