2.It is created by an act of Parliament at the request of the state legislatures concerned.
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.
