State Public Service Commission

Parallel to the Union Public Service Commission at the centre, each state has its own State Public Service Commission. The same set of Articles (315 to 323 of Part XIV) of the Constitution also deals with the composition, appointment, and removal of members, power and functions, and independence of State Public Service Commission.

• The provisions in the Constitution ensure the competence of the Commission to deal with matter relating to the State Service and enable them to discharge their duties in a fair and impartial manner free from influence from any quarter.
• The Chairman and Members of the Commission are appointed by the Governor of the State. The Chairman or any other Member of the Commission can hold office for a period of six years or till he/she attains the age of 62 years whichever is earlier.
• Each state has its own Public Service Commission with functions similar to the UPSC. The State Public Service Commissions were constituted under the provisions of the Constitution of India.
