The independence of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is crucial for ensuring fair and impartial recruitment to civil services. This independence is established through various constitutional provisions, primarily concerning the appointment, tenure, and removal of its members, ensuring they are free from political influence. While no single article explicitly states "independence of UPSC," the provisions within Articles 315-323 collectively establish its autonomy. Article 325, which prohibits discrimination in electoral rolls, upholds a principle of fairness and non-discrimination that aligns with the spirit of independent functioning expected of the UPSC in its selection processes.
