In Laxmikant, in the chapter Election Commission(6th edition page- 42.4):
It is mentioned that " They hold the office for a term of 6 years or until they attain the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier".
Also, under the flaws it is mentioned:
"The Constitution has not specified the term of members of the Election Commission".
Both the statements look contradictory to me, could please someone clarify what I am missing.

Term is not mentioned in the Constitution. It is mentioned in one of the statutes - Election Commission Act, 1991, if I am right.
Thanks!
