It consists of a Chairman and four other members. It makes recommendations concerning distribution of tax revenues between the Union and the States and Grants-in-aid.
Administrative Tribunal — Article 323A: Article 323A empowers Parliament to make a law providing for Administrative Tribunals for adjudication of disputes relating to recruitment and conditions of service in Public Services. This provision was inserted in Part XIV-A by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.
Union Public Service Commission — Article 315: Article 315 constitutionally provides for a Union Public Service Commission for the Union and a State Public Service Commission for each State. It also provides for a Joint State Public Service Commission for two or more States.
