implied powers are the powers exercised by Congress which are not explicitly given by the Constitution itself but necessary and proper to execute the powers.

Answer:

The term implied powers refers to those powers the Congress can excercise regardless of the fact that they are not expressly granted to it by Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution -that lists the expressed or enumerated powers. Implied powers are deemed to be necessary to effectively execute expressed ones and include the powers to create an agency and entrust it to handle the collection of taxes, to punish tax evaders, to regulate the license to sell certain items, to establish the federal reserve system of banks, among others.
