Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Article 317.

 

Article 317 of the Indian Constitution specifically deals with the removal and suspension of a member of a Public Service Commission (PSC)—whether at the Union (UPSC) or State (SPSC) level.

According to Article 317:

  • The President (for UPSC) or the Governor (for SPSC) may remove a member under certain conditions such as misbehavior, insolvency, engaging in paid employment, or infirmity of mind or body.

  • In cases of alleged misbehavior, a reference must be made to the Supreme Court, and the President or Governor is bound by its advice.
