The UPSC consists of a chairman and other members appointed by the President of India. The strength of the Commission has been decided by the President.
The Chairman and members of the Commission hold office for a term of six years or until they attain the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier.
The chairman or a member of the UPSC can be removed from office by the President only in the manner and on the grounds mentioned in the Constitution.
State Public Service Commission (SPSC)
Parallel to UPSC at the Centre, there is a SPSC in a state. It consists of a chairman and other members appointed by the Governor of the State.

National Commission for Scheduled Castes
The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (SCs) is a constitutional body in the sense that it is directly established by Article 338 of the Constitution.

The Commission also has to investigate all matters relating to the constitutional and other legal safeguards for the OBCs and the Anglo-Indian Community and report to the President upon their working.
They are appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal. Their conditions of service and tenure of office are also determined by the President.
The Commission presents an annual report to the President. It can also submit a report as and when it thinks necessary.
