Union Public Service Commission

Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.

Article 315 creates this body to recruit for all-India and central services. Removal protection under Article 317 (only the President acting on a Supreme Court inquiry report may remove a member) is the strongest tenure guarantee the Constitution gives any appointee, yet that independence is weakened because Article 320 advice on disciplinary matters remains merely advisory. Members serve six years or until age sixty-five under Article 316. Article 323 requires an annual report, with reasons for any non-acceptance of advice, laid before Parliament.
