Organizational Structure of Planning Commissions

The Prime Minister is the ex-officio Chairman of the Planning Commission. The tenure of its members and Deputy Chairman is not fixed and there is no definite qualification for its members. The members are appointed by the government on its own discretion and the members keep on changing according to the wish of the Government.
