Explanation:

Statement 3: The NHRC cannot by itself punish the guilty. That is the responsibility of courts. The NHRC is there to make independent and credible inquiry into any case of violation of human rights. Thus, its recommendations are not binding on neither the courts not the government.

Statement 2: The commission has been established by law as autonomous of the government, and not by the constitution or an executive order.

Statement 4: Any citizen of India can write a letter to the NHRC to complain against the violation of human rights. There is no fee or any formal procedure to approach the NHRC. So, statement 4 is correct.
