All three statements are correct. RPSC's official profile records the Lee Commission's central-commission recommendation, the existence of PSCs only in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner among the 22 covenanting states, and the RPSC's effective date as 22 December 1949.

A person who has held office as a member of a Public Service Commission is ineligible for re-appointment to that office after the term expires. 4. Article 316 requires every member of a Public Service Commission to have held office for at least five years under the Government of India or a State. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct as per Article 316. Statement 4 is false on two counts: Article 316 says as nearly as may be one-half, not every member, and the experience period is at least ten years, not five.
Q3Consider the following statements about the constitutional framework for Public Service Commissions: 1. Article 315 provides that there shall be a Public Service Commission for the Union and a Public Service Commission for each State. 2. Article 320 makes it the duty of State Public Service Commissions to conduct examinations for appointments to the services of the State. 3. Article 315 says that disciplinary matters are the only function of a State Public Service Commission. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Article 315 provides for Public Service Commissions for the Union and states, while Article 320 assigns State PSCs the duty of conducting examinations for appointments to state services. Statement 3 is incorrect because disciplinary matters are only one consultation area under Article 320, not the sole function under Article 315.

Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 correctly describe the Commission's functions under Article 320. Statement 3 is overbroad because the pension-related function concerns awards for injuries sustained while serving under the State Government in a civil capacity. Statement 4 is false because the costs are paid out of the Consolidated Fund of the State, not India.

Statement 3 is incorrect because August 20 was the Gazette publication date of the ordinance, while RPSC came into effect on December 22, 1949.
