Question

Which of the following is entrusted with the special power to create a new All India Service?


A.

Rajya Sabha


B.

Lok Sabha


C.

Union Public Service Commission


D.

Attorney General of India

Correct option is A

 According to Article 312 of the Indian Constitution, the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) is entrusted with the special power to create a new All India Service (like IAS, IPS, IFS, etc.).

If the Rajya Sabha passes a resolution by a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting, declaring that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest to create a new All India Service, Parliament may by law create such a service.

This provision ensures that the creation of services which operate both at the Union and State levels is done with broader consensus and national interest in view.

  • Lok Sabha does not have this power under Article 312.

  • Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts exams and gives advice but does not create services.

  • The Attorney General of India is the chief legal advisor to the Government, not responsible for service creation.
