Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation: The Constitution makes a provision for the establishment of a Joint State Public Service Commission (JSPSC) for two or more states.
- While the UPSC and the SPSC are created directly by the Constitution, a JSPSC can be created by an act of Parliament on the request of the state legislatures concerned.
- Thus, a JSPSC is a statutory and not a constitutional body.
- The chairman and members of a JSPSC are appointed by the president.
- They hold office for six years or until they attain 62 years, whichever is earlier.
