Cevap
The CAG is completely ineligible for any further office under the Government of India or any State, whereas a UPSC member (other than the Chairman) remains eligible to be appointed as the Chairman of the UPSC or a State Public Service Commission.
Under Article 148(4) of the Constitution of India, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) becomes completely ineligible for any further office under the Government of India or the Government of any State after ceasing to hold office. Conversely, under Article 319(b), a member of the UPSC (other than the Chairman) is ineligible for general government employment but remains eligible for appointment as the Chairman of the UPSC or as the Chairman of a State Public Service Commission.
