The committee has proposed that the central government look after the central banks and formulate financial policies, monetary policy and foreign aids, support and loans.
As per the concept, policies about international trade and commerce, exchange rates, airports, quarantine, international as well as interstate civil aviation, foreign policy, international treaties, extradition, international border, national intelligence, supreme court, constitutional court, citizenship certificates, passports and visa policies will be formulated by the central government.
Likewise, the Election Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority and Public Service Commission, among others, will fall under the jurisdiction of the central government. But there will be a few commissions at the provincial level as well.
