Bring out the correct statements:


Answer: 1 & 2 are correct
Notes: The correct answer is "only 1 is correct." 1. The salary and allowances of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India are indeed charged to the Consolidated Fund of India, as per Article 148 of the Indian Constitution. 2. The appointment of the CAG is for a term of 6 years or until the age of 65, whichever comes first, making statement 2 incorrect. 3. After retirement, the CAG cannot be appointed as a member of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) or as Chairman of a State Public Service Commission, which makes statement 3 incorrect. Thus, only statement 1 is accurate.
