Explanation:

1 and 3 only

The statement "It recommended ending the convention of Governors being acting as Chancellors of Universities" is correct. The Punchhi Commission did recommend ending the convention of Governors serving as Chancellors of Universities to ensure the autonomy of universities from political interference.

The statement "It was against the creation of new all India services rather supported state services to deal with local issues" is incorrect. The Punchhi Commission actually recommended the creation of new All India Services to better address the needs of the country and improve administrative efficiency.

The statement "In order to bring balance in power between states, it recommended equality of representation in Rajya Sabha" is correct. The Punchhi Commission recommended measures to strengthen the role of Rajya Sabha and ensure equality among states in terms of representation, thereby balancing power between the Centre and the states.

Therefore, the correct statements are 1 and 3 only.
