Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021
"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."
Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.
@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh @Neyawn @root @Upsc_2020 can someone please clarify. this is getting confusing due to different interpretation by everyone.
People above are correct. This is the final position. You can safely assume that Laxmikant has not been updated. There are other errors as well. This is one of them.

HarveySpectre,
What is the difference between appointment by President and appointment by Central government..
It's difference of day and night. When someone is appointed by Hon'ble Pres - s/he is protected by Him/her and stays till his Pleasure (maximum job security ideally !). If ministry appoints you, you stays till pleasure of the minister. That means political compulsions can get you out in more easily if you are later category civil servant. All India Services appointed by Mahamahim - so protected under Art 311 which is extra tight article for protection of civil servants.
I didn't found in any credible source that whip has given statutory status. Rajya sabha website doesn't have such mention. So, I am going with Whip as parliamentary convention.

It is really get to see your enthusiastically answer the questions, sire!
When I was selected for a certain govt job, long back, I quickly checked who the appointing authority was. It was the Central Govt. The appointment letter was signed by Additional or Under Secy Rural Development.
What does this mean?
This means that anytime the Central Govt wanted , they could remove me with just a letter signed by the Secy, Rural Development.
When you are appointed to the All India Services, the appointment is by the President, who , is also the authority who can remove such officials.
This means that if the govt quickly wants to remove someone, they have send the letter to President. While the President is bound to follow the advice, note that President may apply his mind to such recommendations. Or even sit on it for a long time ( The pocket of Indian President , as you may have read is deeper than the American President ). So it is not easy for central govts to remove someone appointed by the President. If for some reason that President is not happy, he may require additional information from the Govt.
So this makes a lot of difference.
Also, with respect to submission of reports, if a Constitutional Body is there, then it is most likely to submit its report to the President than the Govt. That additional layer of having the President takes away a lot of whims and facies of the govt in effect.
Please also note that when governments are in absolute majority, neither the President not the Supreme Courts are able to withstand executive pressure.

this what the official website says-
"
- Under the Scheme an income support of Rs.6000/- per year is provided to all farmer families across the country in three equal installments of Rs.2000/- each every four months.
"

So unless asked about the landless farmers specifically, we should take it to be applicable for all farmers subject to exclusion.
