Indian Economy - Understanding the basics of Indian economic system

Consider the following statements:

1. The government of India Act 1935 established Public Service Commission’s separately for both the central and the state government services.

2. Lee Commission in 1924 suggested for the 1st time the establishment of an independent and impartial Public Service Commission for India.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1 only

2 only

Both 1 and 2

None of the above

The Government of India Act 1935 made a provision for the establishment of a Public Service Commission for each Province. Before this, only the Central Public Service Commission was in place. Thus, it paved the way for the creation of Public Service Commissions at the provincial (state) level.
The Lee Commission, appointed in 1923, indeed recommended the setting up of a Central Public Service Commission. The idea was to have an impartial body to handle civil service appointments and to ensure that civil servants remain neutral and independent from political pressures.
Thus, both statements are correct. The correct answer is:
Option 3: "Both 1 and 2".
