no, it is a constitutional body
Planning Commission is a non-Constitutional (not created by the Constitution) and non-statutory(not created by an Act of Parliament) body. It was created in 1950 by Govt. Of India by an executive resolution. Finance Commission, which does a similar work, is a Constitutional body.

Since there is no Central Planning Commission or Finance Commission in the US I assume you ask this question in reference to India. The answer in the Indian context is No. The Finance Commission is a constitutional body while the Planning Commission is not statutory and merely an advisory body. While some of their functions overlap, by and large the Finance Commission focuses on non-plan revenues (administrative costs of government etc) and expenditure while the Planning Commission focuses on plan expenditure (social schemes and infrastructure).
