Which of the following is NOT a ground for removal of the UPSC Chairman or member?
Acceptance of foreign award
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is a constitutional body established under Article 315. Article 317 lays down the procedure for the removal of the Chairman and other members of the UPSC.
The President can remove the Chairman or a member on the ground of "misbehaviour" only after the Supreme Court, on a reference from the President, has held an inquiry and reported the same.
However, the President can remove them without such a reference if they (a) are adjudged insolvent, (b) engage during their term of office in any paid employment outside the duties of their office, or (c) are, in the opinion of the President, unfit to continue in office by reason of infirmity of mind or body.
"Acceptance of a foreign award" is not listed as a ground for removal under Article 317.
Hence, the answer is acceptance of foreign award.
