    Eduncle Best Answer

    A statutory body is an organisation of government which is not demarcated in Constitution of India but it gets its powers, service rules, authority by an act of parliament or state legislatures. The Union Government set up the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) under the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India is a Statutory public body constituted on 12 October 1993 under the Protection of Human Rights Ordinance of 28 September 1993. 
    Constitutional bodies in India are bodies or institutes that have mentioned in Indian constitution. It derives power directly from the constitution. Any type of change in mechanism of these bodies needs constitutional amendment. Example- CAG, National Commission of SCs, National Commission of STs, National Commission of Backward classes etc.
