According to Article 317 of the Constitution of India, the Chairman or any other Member of a State Public Service Commission shall be removed from office by order of the President. This removal can be on the ground of misbehaviour, but in such cases, the President shall refer the matter to the Supreme Court for an inquiry. If the Supreme Court, after inquiry, reports that the Chairman or Member ought to be removed, the President shall order the removal. The President can also remove a member on other grounds like insolvency, infirmity of mind or body, or engaging in paid employment outside the duties of office, without a Supreme Court reference. However, for misbehaviour, the Supreme Court inquiry is mandatory and its advice is binding on the President. The Governor appoints the members and chairman but does not have the power of removal.
