2. Governor of RBI
3. Attorney General 
4. Governor of a State

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Governor of RBI

The correct answer is Governor of RBI.

• The Reserve Bank of India was established on April 1, 1935, in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
• RBI is a statutory body because it was established by an Act.
• Hence, the Governor of RBI is not a Constitutional post.

• In India, the major constitutional bodies are:
  • Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)
  • State Public Service Commission
  • The Comptroller, and Auditor General of India
  • Election Commission of India
  • Finance Commission of India
  • National Commission for Scheduled Castes
  • National Commission For Scheduled Tribe
• Judges of High Courts and Supreme Court come under Comptroller and Auditor General, thus it is a constitutional post.
• The Attorney General of India is the primary lawyer of the Supreme Court and is the chief legal advisor.
  • It is a constitutional post.
