Q. Which of the following is one of the characteristics of civil services in India?
Answer: Neutrality and Impartiality
Notes: Neutrality and impartiality is the most prominent characteristic of Indian civil services. The doctrine of neutrality is based upon the assumption that the same set of civil servants can function under governments that are committed to different political philosophies. Neutrality in practice is non-partisanship and impartiality in the sense that when the civil servants are executing a corpus of statutory laws and regulations, they shall act impartially and will not import political considerations into their operations.
