Question 1

Consider the following pairs:
1. Article 317 : Removal and suspension of a member
2. Article 320 : Expenses of Public Service Commissions
3. Article 322 : Functions of Public Service Commissions
4. Article 319 : Prohibition as to the holding of office by members
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Accepted Answer

Only two pairs. Pair 1 is correct as Article 317 deals with the removal and suspension of a member. Pair 4 is correct as Article 319 deals with the prohibition on holding office after ceasing to be a member. Pairs 2 and 3 are incorrectly matched. Article 320 deals with the Functions of PSCs, and Article 322 deals with the Expenses of PSCs. Therefore, only two pairs are correctly matched.

Question 2

Consider the following statements regarding the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC):
1. The provisions for the UPSC are contained in Part XIV of the Constitution.
2. The UPSC is a statutory body created by an Act of Parliament for recruitment purposes.
3. The constitutional framework for the UPSC is detailed in Articles 315 to 323.
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct?

Accepted Answer

2 only. Statement 2 is incorrect. The UPSC is an independent constitutional body, directly created by the Constitution of India, not a statutory body created by an Act of Parliament. Statements 1 and 3 are correct as Part XIV of the Constitution, specifically Articles 315 to 323, contains the provisions regarding the UPSC.

Question 3

Statement I: The Constitution of India provides for a Public Service Commission at the Union level, but mandates the creation of State Public Service Commissions through state legislation.
Statement II: The same set of Articles in Part XIV of the Constitution, from 315 to 323, deals with the composition, powers, and functions of both the Union Public Service Commission and the State Public Service Commissions.

Accepted Answer

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. Statement I is incorrect because the Constitution itself provides for Public Service Commissions for both the Union and the states under Article 315. It does not mandate their creation through state legislation. Statement II is correct, as the text explicitly mentions that the same set of Articles (315 to 323) in Part XIV applies to both the UPSC and the SPSCs.

Question 4

How many of the following constitutional provisions are related to ensuring the independence or outlining the limitations of the members of Public Service Commissions?
1. Article 317: Removal and suspension of a member
2. Article 319: Prohibition as to the holding of office by members on ceasing to be such members
3. Article 322: Expenses of Public Service Commissions

Accepted Answer

All three. All three provisions contribute to the independence and place limitations on the members of Public Service Commissions. Article 317 provides for security of tenure by laying down a specific procedure for removal, a check on arbitrary executive action. Article 319 prevents future favour-seeking by prohibiting post-retirement appointments, ensuring impartiality. Article 322, by charging the expenses on the Consolidated Fund, ensures financial autonomy and insulates the commission from financial pressures from the executive. Thus, all three are relevant.

Question 5

With reference to the constitutional provisions for Public Service Commissions, consider the following statements:
1. The Constitution specifies the functions of Public Service Commissions before detailing the power to extend those functions.
2. The provisions regarding the appointment and term of office of members are mentioned in Article 315.
3. The procedure for the removal of a member is laid out in the article that immediately follows the one dealing with their appointment and term of office.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

1 and 3 only. Statement 1 is correct: Article 320 deals with 'Functions of Public Service Commissions', and the subsequent Article 321 deals with the 'Power to extend functions'. Statement 2 is incorrect: Article 315 provides for the establishment of Public Service Commissions, while Article 316 deals with the 'Appointment and term of office of members'. Statement 3 is correct: Article 316 deals with appointment and term, and the very next article, 317, deals with the 'Removal and suspension of a member'.

Question 6

With reference to the Public Service Commissions in India, consider the following statements:
1. The chairman of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC) holds office until they attain the age of 65 years.
2. The Constitution has left the determination of the strength of the UPSC to the discretion of the President.
3. One-half of the members of an SPSC should be persons who have held office for at least ten years under the Government of India or a state government.
4. The chairman of an SPSC can relinquish office by addressing their resignation to the President of India.
How many of the statements given above are correct?

Accepted Answer

Only two. Statement 1 is incorrect; the retirement age for an SPSC chairman is 62 years. Statement 4 is incorrect; the chairman of an SPSC addresses their resignation to the governor of the state. Statements 2 and 3 are correct as the Constitution empowers the President/Governor to determine the strength of the UPSC/SPSC respectively, and it specifies the qualification for one-half of the members.

Question 7

Consider the following statements regarding the removal of the chairman of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for misbehaviour:
1. The President must refer the matter to the Supreme Court for an enquiry.
2. The advice tendered by the Supreme Court after the enquiry is binding on the President.
3. The President has the authority to suspend the chairman while the enquiry by the Supreme Court is in progress.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

1, 2 and 3. All three statements are correct. For removal on grounds of misbehaviour, the President is required to refer the case to the Supreme Court. The Court's advice is binding. During this enquiry period, the President is empowered to suspend the member or chairman in question.

Question 8

Consider the following statements regarding the composition of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC):
1. The Constitution of India explicitly fixes the strength of the Commission at nine members plus a chairman.
2. The Constitution mandates that at least one-half of the members of the Commission must have held office for a minimum of ten years under the Government of India or a state government.
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct?

Accepted Answer

1 only. Statement 1 is not correct because the Constitution does not specify the strength of the Commission; it leaves this matter to the discretion of the President. Statement 2 is correct as it accurately reflects the constitutional provision regarding the qualification for half of the Commission's members.

Question 9

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The President of India can remove the chairman or any other member of the UPSC on the grounds of misbehaviour based on his/her own satisfaction.
Statement II: The Constitution provides for a mandatory enquiry by the Supreme Court in cases of misbehaviour, and its advice is binding, thus constraining the President's power of removal.
In the context of the two statements, which one of the following is correct?

Accepted Answer

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.. Statement I is incorrect. The President cannot remove a UPSC member for misbehaviour based on personal satisfaction; a specific procedure involving the Supreme Court must be followed. Statement II is correct as it accurately describes the constitutional check on the President's power, where a binding inquiry by the Supreme Court is mandatory for removal on grounds of misbehaviour.

Question 10

Under the provisions of the Constitution, the President can remove a member of the UPSC under
which of the following circumstances?
1. If the member is adjudged an insolvent.
2. If the member engages in any paid employment outside the duties of their office.
3. If the member is deemed unfit due to infirmity of mind or body in the President's opinion.
4. If the member participates in the profit of any contract made by the Government of India.
How many of the above are valid grounds for removal?

Accepted Answer

All four. All four are valid grounds for removal. The first three are direct grounds for removal by the President. The fourth point (participating in the profit of a government contract) is explicitly defined as 'misbehaviour' in the Constitution, which is also a ground for removal, albeit through a specific procedure involving the Supreme Court.

Question 11

Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: The Governor of a state appoints the chairman and members of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC), but they can only be removed by the President.
Statement-II: In cases of misbehaviour, the advice tendered by the Supreme Court regarding the removal of an SPSC member is binding on the President.

Accepted Answer

Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct but Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I.. Both statements are factually correct based on the constitutional provisions for SPSCs. The Governor appoints, but only the President can remove. The Supreme Court's advice on removal for misbehaviour is indeed binding on the President. However, Statement-II describes the procedure for removal in a specific case (misbehaviour), it does not explain the underlying constitutional principle of why the removal power is vested with the President and not the Governor, which is to ensure the SPSC's independence from the state executive.

Question 12

With reference to the removal of a member of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC) for misbehaviour, consider the following statements:
1. The President is required to refer the matter to the Supreme Court for an enquiry.
2. The Governor has the authority to suspend the member while the enquiry is in progress.
3. The advice given by the Supreme Court after the enquiry is binding on the President.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

1, 2 and 3. All three statements accurately describe the constitutional procedure for removing an SPSC member on grounds of misbehaviour. The President must refer the case to the Supreme Court. The Governor can suspend the member pending the enquiry's conclusion. The Supreme Court's advice is binding on the President, making the removal mandatory if advised.

Question 13

On ceasing to hold office, a member of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is eligible for
which of the following appointments?
1. Chairman of the UPSC
2. Chairman of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC)
3. Any other employment under the Government of India
4. Reappointment as a member of the UPSC for a second term
How many of the above appointments are permissible?

Accepted Answer

Only two. A member of the UPSC, upon ceasing to hold office, is eligible for appointment as the Chairman of the UPSC or as the Chairman of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC). They are not eligible for any other employment in the Government of India or a state, nor are they eligible for reappointment to the office of member of UPSC for a second term. Therefore, only the first two appointments are permissible.

Question 14

Consider the following statements regarding the provisions that ensure the independence of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC):
1. The conditions of service of a UPSC member cannot be varied to their disadvantage after appointment.
2. The entire expenses of the UPSC, including salaries and pensions, are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India and are not subject to the vote of Parliament.
3. A member of the UPSC is not eligible for reappointment to that office for a second term.
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct?

Accepted Answer

None of the above. All three statements are correct and represent key constitutional provisions to safeguard the independence and impartiality of the UPSC. Statement 1 ensures financial security during the term. Statement 2 ensures financial autonomy from parliamentary politics. Statement 3 prevents the possibility of members seeking favour for reappointment. Since all statements are correct, the answer is 'None of the above'.

Question 15

The President can remove the chairman of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC) on the same grounds as the chairman of the UPSC. Consider the following grounds for removal:
1. Being adjudged an insolvent
2. Engaging in paid employment outside of office duties
3. Being deemed guilty of misbehaviour
4. Infirmity of mind or body
On
how many of the grounds above can the President remove the chairman without making a reference to the Supreme Court for an enquiry?

Accepted Answer

Only three. The President can remove the chairman of an SPSC for being an insolvent, engaging in paid employment, or due to infirmity of mind or body directly. However, in the case of 'misbehaviour', the President must refer the matter to the Supreme Court for an enquiry, and can act only after the Court tenders its advice. Therefore, removal without reference to the Supreme Court is possible on three of the listed grounds.

Question 16

With reference to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), consider the following statements:
1. The Supreme Court has held that any irregularity in consultation with the UPSC invalidates the decision of the government.
2. The Parliament can place the personnel system of any corporate body or public institution within the jurisdiction of the UPSC.
3. An individual ministry has the power to reject the advice of the UPSC if it provides sufficient reasons.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

2 only. Statement 1 is incorrect; the Supreme Court has held that the provision for consultation is directory, not mandatory, and acting without consultation does not invalidate the government's decision. Statement 3 is incorrect; an individual ministry cannot reject the UPSC's advice. Cases of non-acceptance must be approved by the Appointments Committee of the Union cabinet. Statement 2 is correct as the jurisdiction of the UPSC can be extended by an act made by the Parliament to include other bodies.

Question 17

Upon ceasing to hold office, a member of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC) is eligible for
which of the following appointments?
1. Chairman of the UPSC
2. Chairman of that SPSC
3. Member of any other SPSC
4. Any other employment under the Government of a state
How many of the above appointments are correct?

Accepted Answer

Only two. A member of an SPSC, on ceasing to hold office, is eligible for appointment as the Chairman or a member of the UPSC, or as the Chairman of that SPSC or any other SPSC. They are not eligible for any other employment under the Government of India or a state. Therefore, only the first two options (Chairman of UPSC and Chairman of that SPSC) are valid appointments from the list. 'Member of any other SPSC' is not mentioned as an eligible post-retirement appointment for a member, only for its chairmanship. 'Any other employment' is explicitly barred.

Question 18

Consider the following statements:
Statement I: The UPSC presents its annual report on its performance to the President of India.
Statement II: The President places this report before both Houses of Parliament, along with a memorandum explaining cases where the Commission's advice was not accepted.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

Accepted Answer

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I. Both statements are factually correct descriptions of the procedure for the UPSC's annual report. Statement I correctly states that the report is submitted to the President. Statement II correctly describes the subsequent action taken by the President. However, Statement II is the next step in the process, not an explanation for why the report is submitted to the President in the first place. They are two independent, sequential facts.

Question 19

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is consulted on
which of the following matters?
1. Methods of recruitment to civil services.
2. Any claim for the award of a pension for injuries sustained by a person while in government service.
3. Matters of temporary appointments for a period exceeding one year.
4. Grant of extension of service for retired civil servants.
How many of the above matters are correct?

Accepted Answer

All four. The UPSC's consultative jurisdiction is extensive. It covers all the matters listed: methods of recruitment, claims for pension in respect of injuries, temporary appointments exceeding one year, and matters related to the grant of extension of service and re-employment of certain retired civil servants. Therefore, all four statements are correct.

Question 20

Consider the following statements regarding the independence of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC):
1. The chairman of an SPSC can be removed from office by the governor on the grounds mentioned in the Constitution.
2. The entire expenses of an SPSC, including salaries and pensions, are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India.
3. A member of an SPSC is eligible for reappointment to that same office for a second term after completing their first term.
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct?

Accepted Answer

1, 2 and 3. All three statements are incorrect. Statement 1 is incorrect because the chairman or a member of an SPSC can be removed only by the President, not the governor. Statement 2 is incorrect because the expenses are charged on the Consolidated Fund of the State, not of India. Statement 3 is incorrect because the chairman or a member is not eligible for reappointment to the same office for a second term. Since the question asks for the statements that are 'NOT correct', all three qualify.

Question 21

Consider the following statements:
Statement I: The recommendations made by a State Public Service Commission (SPSC) concerning personnel management are only of an advisory nature and are not binding on the state government.
Statement II: The Supreme Court has held that a government's decision is invalidated if it fails to consult the SPSC on matters where such consultation is prescribed.

Accepted Answer

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.. Statement I is correct as the SPSC's role is advisory. Statement II is incorrect because the Supreme Court has held that any irregularity in consultation with the SPSC, or acting without consultation, does not invalidate the government's decision, making the provision directory, not mandatory.

Question 22

With reference to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), on
how many of the following matters is the Commission NOT consulted?
1. Making reservations of appointments in favour of any backward class of citizens.
2. Selections for posts of the highest diplomatic nature.
3. Selection for a temporary appointment to a post likely to be held for more than a year.
4. Considering the claims of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in making appointments.

Accepted Answer

Only three. The UPSC is not consulted on: making reservations for backward classes; considering claims of SCs/STs; and selections for high-level diplomatic posts. However, it is consulted for temporary appointments if the post is likely to be held for more than a year; the exclusion only applies if the post is for less than a year. Therefore, three of the listed matters are outside the UPSC's purview.

Question 23

Consider the following statements regarding the State Public Service Commission (SPSC):
1. The SPSC is the central personnel agency in the state, responsible for cadre management and training.
2. In case of conflicting advice on disciplinary matters, the SPSC's recommendation has an edge over that of the State Vigilance Commission.
3. The jurisdiction of the SPSC can be extended by an Act of the state legislature to include the personnel system of a local authority.
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct?

Accepted Answer

1 only. Statement 1 is incorrect. The SPSC is the central recruiting agency, while the Department of Personnel or General Administration Department is the central personnel agency responsible for matters like cadre management. Statements 2 and 3 are correct as the SPSC, being a constitutional body, has an edge over the SVC, and its jurisdiction can be extended by the state legislature.

Question 24

With reference to the regulations made by the President to exclude matters from the purview of the UPSC, consider the following statements:
1. The President is constitutionally empowered to make regulations specifying matters where it shall not be necessary to consult the UPSC.
2. All such regulations must be laid before each House of Parliament for a minimum period of 14 days.
3. The Parliament can amend or repeal such regulations made by the President.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

1, 2 and 3. All three statements are correct. The Constitution allows the President to make regulations excluding matters from the UPSC's purview. These regulations must be laid before each House of Parliament for at least 14 days, during which Parliament has the power to amend or repeal them.

Question 25

Consider the following pairs regarding the functions and role of a State Public Service Commission (SPSC):
1. Disciplinary Matters : Binding advice on the government
2. Judicial Appointments : Consulted for posts other than district judges
3. Annual Report : Submitted directly to the state legislature
4. Extension of Functions : Can be done by an Act of the state legislature
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

Accepted Answer

Only two pairs. Pair 1 is incorrect; the SPSC's advice is advisory, not binding. Pair 2 is correct; the SPSC is consulted by the governor for judicial appointments other than district judges. Pair 3 is incorrect; the annual report is submitted to the Governor, who then places it before the state legislature. Pair 4 is correct; the state legislature can extend the SPSC's jurisdiction by an Act. Thus, only two pairs are correctly matched.

Question 26

Consider the following functions:
1. Classification of services
2. Cadre management
3. Recruitment to Group A central services
4. Training of personnel
How many of the above functions are handled by the Department of Personnel and Training and NOT the UPSC?

Accepted Answer

Only three. The UPSC is primarily a central recruiting agency. Matters such as classification of services, cadre management, and training are handled by the Department of Personnel and Training. Recruitment to central services is a core function of the UPSC. Therefore, three of the listed functions are not handled by the UPSC.

Question 27

Consider the following statements regarding the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC):
1. The recommendations made by the UPSC on disciplinary matters are binding on the Union government.
2. In case of conflicting advice on a disciplinary matter, the Central Vigilance Commission's (CVC) view prevails over that of the UPSC.
3. The government is answerable to the Parliament for rejecting the advice of the UPSC.
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct?

Accepted Answer

1 and 2 only. Statement 1 is incorrect because the recommendations of the UPSC are purely advisory and not binding on the government. Statement 2 is incorrect because the UPSC, being an independent constitutional body, has an edge over the CVC, which was created by an executive resolution. Statement 3 is correct as the only safeguard against arbitrary rejection of UPSC's advice is the government's answerability to the Parliament.

Question 28

Statement I: The Governor of a state is empowered to make regulations specifying matters in which it shall not be necessary for the State Public Service Commission (SPSC) to be consulted.
Statement II: Any regulation made by the Governor to exclude matters from the SPSC's purview is subject to amendment or repeal by the state legislature.

Accepted Answer

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I.. Statement I is correct; the Constitution allows the Governor to exclude posts and services from the SPSC's purview. Statement II is also correct; these regulations must be laid before the state legislature for at least 14 days, and the legislature can amend or repeal them. However, Statement II describes a legislative check on the Governor's power, not an explanation for why the Governor has that power in the first place. Thus, both statements are independently correct.

Question 29

With reference to the State Public Service Commission (SPSC), consider the following matters:
1. Making reservations of appointments in favour of any backward class of citizens.
2. Taking into consideration the claims of scheduled castes in making appointments.
3. Taking into consideration the claims of scheduled tribes in making appointments.
How many of the above matters are kept outside the functional jurisdiction of the SPSC, meaning it is not consulted on them?

Accepted Answer

All three. The Constitution specifies certain matters that are kept outside the functional jurisdiction of the SPSC. These include making reservations for backward classes and considering the claims of both scheduled castes and scheduled tribes when making appointments to services and posts. Therefore, all three listed matters are outside the SPSC's purview for consultation.

Consider the following statements:
1. The UPSC is a constitutional body, whereas the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) was originally established by an executive resolution of the Government of India.

3. The UPSC can serve the needs of a state on the request of the state governor and with the approval of the President.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

2 and 3 only. Statement 1 is incorrect; a JSPSC is a statutory body, not a constitutional one, and it is created by an act of Parliament, not a presidential order. Statements 2 and 3 are correct as the GoI Act of 1935 did provide for a Joint PSC, and the UPSC can assist a state upon the governor's request and with presidential approval.

2 only. Statement 2 is not correct. The number of members of a JSPSC and their conditions of service are determined by the President, not the Parliament. Statement 1 is correct as a JSPSC is statutory while the UPSC is constitutional. Statement 3 is a correct historical fact mentioned in the text.

Question 35

Consider the following functions/powers with respect to a Joint State Public Service Commission (JSPSC):

1. The Bill expands the jurisdiction of the UPSC by empowering it to create protocols for IT security in all public examinations nationally.
2. The Bill makes the UPSC's advice on disciplinary matters arising from unfair means legally binding, overriding the Supreme Court's previous interpretation of its role as directory.
3. The Bill designates the UPSC as a 'public examination authority', thereby bringing the examinations it conducts under the purview of the new penal provisions.
4. The Bill establishes a High-Level National Technical Committee to advise on examination standards, a function that supplements the UPSC's existing role in determining recruitment methods.

How many of the above statements are correct?

Accepted Answer

Only two. Statement 1 is incorrect; the Bill proposes a 'High-Level National Technical Committee' for this purpose, not the UPSC itself. Statement 2 is incorrect; the Bill introduces new criminal offences and does not alter the constitutional provision regarding the UPSC's advisory role in departmental disciplinary matters, which remains directory. Statement 3 is correct as the Bill's schedule explicitly lists the UPSC as a public examination authority. Statement 4 is correct; the new technical committee's role in setting standards for IT and physical infrastructure complements the UPSC's broader function of conducting examinations.
