Article 323 of CoI : Article 323: Reports of Public Service Commissions.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has completed its annual activities, including conducting various competitive exams for civil services, defense services, and other government positions. At the end of the year, the UPSC prepares a detailed report outlining all the work done, the number of exams conducted, the number of candidates who appeared, and the recommendations made for appointments and promotions.

This report is then submitted to the President of India. Upon receiving the report, the President reviews it and prepares a memorandum explaining any instances where the advice of the UPSC was not accepted by the government. For example, if the UPSC recommended the promotion of a certain officer but the government decided against it, the reasons for this decision would be documented.

The President then ensures that both the report and the memorandum are presented before both houses of Parliament. This process ensures transparency and accountability in the functioning of the UPSC.

Example 2:

The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has completed its annual activities, including recruitment for various state government positions. At the end of the year, the MPSC prepares a comprehensive report detailing its work, including the number of exams conducted, the number of candidates who appeared, and the recommendations made for appointments and promotions.

This report is then submitted to the Governor of Maharashtra. Upon receiving the report, the Governor reviews it and prepares a memorandum explaining any instances where the advice of the MPSC was not accepted by the state government. For example, if the MPSC recommended the appointment of a certain candidate but the state government decided against it, the reasons for this decision would be documented.

The Governor then ensures that both the report and the memorandum are presented before the Maharashtra State Legislature. This process ensures transparency and accountability in the functioning of the MPSC.

Example 3:

The Joint Public Service Commission serving the states of Punjab and Haryana has completed its annual activities, including recruitment for various state government positions in both states. At the end of the year, the Joint Commission prepares a comprehensive report detailing its work, including the number of exams conducted, the number of candidates who appeared, and the recommendations made for appointments and promotions in both states.

This report is then submitted to the Governors of both Punjab and Haryana. Upon receiving the report, the Governors review it and prepare a memorandum explaining any instances where the advice of the Joint Commission was not accepted by the respective state governments. For example, if the Joint Commission recommended the appointment of a certain candidate in Punjab but the state government decided against it, the reasons for this decision would be documented.

The Governors then ensure that both the report and the memorandum are presented before the respective State Legislatures of Punjab and Haryana. This process ensures transparency and accountability in the functioning of the Joint Commission.
