Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

According to Article 312 of the Indian Constitution, the Rajya Sabha has the exclusive power to initiate the creation of one or more All India Services. Statement 1 is correct because the Rajya Sabha can pass a resolution to this effect if it is necessary or expedient in the national interest.

Statement 2 is incorrect because Article 312 specifies that such a resolution must be passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting. It does not require a two-third majority of the total membership of the House. Once such a resolution is passed, the Parliament may by law provide for the creation of the service. This special power of the Rajya Sabha is a significant federal feature, ensuring that the states (represented in the Rajya Sabha) have a say in the creation of services that operate in both the Union and the States.
