What is the maximum age for a member of a joint public service commission to hold his/her office as per the Constitution of India?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) 62 years.
· According to Article 316 of the Constitution of India, a member of a Joint Public Service Commission shall hold office for a term of six years from the date on which he enters upon his office or until he attains the age of 62 years, whichever is earlier.
· The age limit for members of a Joint Public Service Commission is the same as that for members of a State Public Service Commission, ensuring a consistent retirement age across state-level public service commissions.
Information booster:
· A JSPSC is a statutory body. It is not a constitutional body. After the creation of Haryana out of Punjab in 1966, the two states of Punjab and Haryana had a JSPSC for a short period. The President appoints the chairman as well as the members of a JSPSC.
