Totalitarian Planning: In totalitarian or authoritarian planning there is central control and direction of all economic activity in accordance with a single plan. There is planning by direction where consumption, production, exchange and distribution are all controlled by the state.
Democratic Planning: In democratic Planning, the philosophy of democratic government is accepted as the ideological basis. People are associated at every step in the formulation and implementation of the plane. The plan prepared by the Planning Commission is not accepted as such. It can be accepted, rejected or modified by the Parliament of the country. Planning by inducement is democratic planning.
Indicative Planning: This type of planning is not imperative but flexible.
Decentralised Planning: Decentralised planning refers to the execution of the plan from the grass roots.
