All appointments to Central Civil Services Group 'A' and Central Civil Posts Group 'A' shall be made by ;
Explanation
According to Rule 8 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, all appointments to Central Civil Services, Group 'A' and Central Civil Posts, Group 'A', shall be made by the President of India. Although the President may delegate this power to other authorities through general or special orders, the primary appointing authority remains the President.
In contrast, Rule 9 of the same rules states that appointments to Group 'B', Group 'C', and Group 'D' services are made by the authorities specified in the Schedule. The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is a constitutional body responsible for conducting examinations and advising on recruitment and disciplinary matters, but it does not have the authority to make the actual appointments. Therefore, for Group 'A' posts, the President is the correct appointing authority.
