Who has the power to extend the functions of Public Service Commission ?
Parliament
Article 321 provides that an Act made by Parliament (for the UPSC) or by the Legislature of a State (for a State PSC) may provide for the exercise of additional functions by the Public Service Commission with respect to the services of the Union or the State, and also of any local authority, body corporate or public institution.
The President cannot extend the functions by himself; under Article 320(3) he can only exclude matters from consultation through regulations, which must be laid before Parliament. The Prime Minister and the Chairman of the Commission have no such constitutional power.
