Re: Is UPSC a Constitutional Body

The Royal Commission on the Superior Civil Services in India under the Chairmanship of Lord Lee, which submitted its Report in 1924, recommended the setting up of the Public Service Commission. It led to the establishment of the first Public Service Commission in 1926 under the Chairmanship of Sir Ross Barker.

The Federal Public Service Commission became the Union Public Service Commission after Independence and was given a Constitutional status with promulgation of constitution of India on 26 January 1950.

The UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) is a central agency responsible for conducting exams pertaining to Civil Services, Engineering Services, Defence Services, and Medical Services. It also conducts Economic Service, Statistical Service, and Police Forces exam.

Article 315 to 323 of Indian Constitution has a provision for such an agency. The history of UPSC goes back to 1926, when it was established for the first time. UPSC was given the constitutional status when Indian Constitution came into effect on January 26, 1950.

It comprises a Chairman and ten other members. They are obliged to follow the rules mentioned in Union Public Service Commission (Members) Regulations, 1969.

Its all members are appointed by the President of India with at least half of the members being the Civil Servants (working or retired) with no less than 10 years of experience in Central or State service.

The Secretariat of UPSC is led by a Secretary, two additional secretaries, joint secretaries, and deputy secretaries.

Every member can hold office for six years or till the time he attains the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier.

A member can submit his resignation at any time to the President of India. On the flip side, the President can remove him on the ground of misbehavior.

The UPSC submits a report of its work to the President on an annual basis. The report is then tabled in both houses of Parliament for discussion.

The President places a memorandum in relation to the cases where the commission’s recommendations were not accepted. The memorandum clarifies the reasons for non-acceptance.
