Answer 1

Answer:

During the rule of the East India Company, Civil Service posts in India were filled up only by the English. According to the provisions of the Charter Act of 1793, the highest post of Indian administration was reserved only to the covenanted servicemen of the company. The Charter Act of 1833, concurred to the recruitment of the Indians to the high posts of the administration. The posts Deputy Magistrate and Deputy Collector were created in 1833 and 1843 respectively and it was decided that Indians would be fit for both the posts. The Act of 1853, gave directions to hold competitive examinations for Civil Service and also allowing the Indians to sit in the examination. In 1866, the upper age limit of a candidate to appear in Civil Service Examination was reduced to 21 years.

The British Government made a law regarding Indian Civil Service during the term of Lord Lytton. By this law, one-sixth member of Indian Civil Administration which were reserved for the covenanted British persons were now to be filled up by the nominated Indians of the local governments. The Montegue-Chelmsford Report declared the policy of the government to hold the Civil Service Examination in England and India simultaneously. The Lee Commission formed in1923, proposed the formation of the Civil Service Commission in India immediately and to raise the number of Indians to the post of Civil Service by fifty per cent within fifteen years. India abolished the old system of recruitment to the Civil Services after her Independence.
