polity hard true/false

The advice tendered by UPSC to the government is always binding and must be accepted.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

Article 320(3): UPSC's advice is not binding; government may accept/reject it. However, if government rejects advice, it must record reasons and place them before Parliament/State Legislature (Article 320(5)). This ensures transparency and accountability while preserving executive's final decision-making authority. Balances merit-based recommendations with administrative flexibility.
