Under Article 263 of the Constitution, the Inter-State Council deals with coordination, investigating common interests, and discussing subjects of dispute, but disputes relating to inter-state river waters are specifically excluded and handled under Article 262 via separate tribunals.
खालील विमाने विचारात घ्या : अ. विभागीय परिषदा या घटनात्मक संस्था आहेत. ब. पंतप्रधान हे सर्व विभागीय परिषदांचे अध्यक्ष म्हणून कार्य करतात. क. प्रत्येक मुख्यमंत्री हा आळीपाळीने विभागीय परिषदेचा उपाध्यक्ष म्हणून कार्य करतो. ड. दोन किंवा अधिक विभागीय परिषदांच्या संयुक्त बैठकींचे अध्यक्षस्थान केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री भूषवितो.
