SSC GD 2024 PYQ — Question 36

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Parliament of India.

• In India, the salaries of the Supreme Court judges are determined by Parliament. The salaries and allowances of judges are specified under the Second Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
• The Parliament has the authority to modify these salaries through legislation. However, the remuneration cannot be reduced during a judge's term of office, as this would undermine judicial independence. The provisions safeguard the dignity and autonomy of the judiciary by preventing any reduction in a judge's salary during their term.
