Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option A (I only).

  • Statement I is correct: Under Article 148(1) of the Constitution, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India can only be removed from office in the same manner and on the same grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court (i.e., on grounds of proved misbehaviour or incapacity, requiring a special majority in Parliament).
  • Statement II is incorrect: Under Article 150 of the Constitution, the accounts of the Union and of the States are kept in such form as the President may prescribe, on the advice of the CAG. Therefore, it is the President, not the CAG, who officially prescribes the form.
