3. The Delimitation Commission is appointed by the President.
4. J&K has a different act for dimiting assembly seats as well as lok sabha seats.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: Only 1 & 3
Notes: The Delimitation Commission proposes seven additional Assembly seats for Jammu and Kashmir—six in Jammu and one in the Kashmir valley—along with nine reserved for Scheduled Tribes (STs) and seven for Scheduled Castes (SCs). An additional 24 seats are suggested for Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Previously, delimitation in J&K was governed by its Constitution and the Jammu and Kashmir Representation of the People Act, 1957. Following the abrogation of J&K's special status, a delimitation commission was established on March 6, 2020. Delimitation involves redrawing constituency boundaries as per the Election Commission. Articles 82 and 170 provide the constitutional basis for this process, which has occurred four times since 1950. The Delimitation Commission, appointed by the President of India, operates with legal authority and includes a retired Supreme Court judge, the Chief Election Commissioner, and state election commissioners.
