Notes:

  • The Constitution does not specify the strength of the Commission but has left the matter to the discretion of the Governor.  
  • The chairman and members of the Commission hold office for a term of six years or until they attain the age of 62years, whichever is earlier (in the case of UPSC, the age limit is 65 years).
