Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Indian English Template:About Official definitions of what constitutes an agency of the government of India are limited and varied. Article 12 of the India constitution defines "the State" as encompassing the central government, the Indian parliament, the state governments and their respective legislatures, as well as what are termed "local or other authorities." The interpretation of the term "other authorities" has been the subject of extensive judicial scrutiny by the Supreme Court. There have also been several acts of parliament which have included varying definitions of government agencies.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The executive branch of the Indian government comprises the president, the vice president, and the union council of ministers, led by the prime minister. This council is responsible for overseeing the functioning of the country's 53 union ministries. The ministries are staffed by members of the Indian civil services, who constitute the permanent bureaucracy of the executive.

The following is a comprehensive list of agencies operating under the Indian government at the central level. It encompasses the union ministries along with their various departments, attached and subordinate offices, statutory bodies, and other affiliated organisations, alongside independent agencies and bodies. Also included are autonomous institutions, publicly funded and administered educational and research establishments, as well as public sector undertakings, which are companies that are predominantly owned and operated by the Indian government. This list is limited to central government entities and does not cover agencies operating at the state or local levels.
