3.1. Composition and Appointment

The members of SPSC are appointed by Governor of the state. Similar to UPSC, no qualification has been prescribed for the State Commission’s membership, except that one half of the members of the Commission should be such persons who have held office for at least 10 years either under the government of India or under state government. The Constitution also authorises the Governor to determine the conditions of service of the Chairman and members of the Commission. The Chairman and members of Commission hold office for a term of 6 years

or until they attain the age of 62 years, whichever is earlier (in case of UPSC the age limit is 65 years).
