Inter-State Council

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Established under Article 263 to foster coordination between center and states. The President can set up such a council for inquiry, discussion, and recommendation on disputes or policy matters. The ISC, chaired by the Prime Minister, includes Chief Ministers and key Union Ministers, enabling dialogue on administrative, legislative, or socio-economic concerns. Though infrequently convened, it embodies cooperative federalism. Through structured interactions, states can voice issues regarding resource distribution, security, or legislative overlaps. Reports and recommendations from the ISC may influence policy modifications or new legislation. However, it remains an advisory body, relying on political will for implementing its suggestions.
