India has a federal system requiring coordination between the Centre and States majorly in the matters of policy, finance and governance which are facilitated by NITI Aayog and Inter-State Council. Both of the institutes aim to promote federalism, yet have different structure, purpose and legal authority. By replacing the Planning Commission, NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) was established by the Government of India on January 1, 2015, whereas the Inter-State Council was constituted in 1990 under Article 263 of the Constitution, following the recommendations of the Sarkaria Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n
