Under which Article of the Constitution can Parliament create an All-India Service common to both the Union and the States, provided the Rajya Sabha passes a supporting resolution?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 312 of the Constitution empowers Parliament to create one or more All-India Services common to both the Union and States if the Rajya Sabha passes a supporting resolution by a two-thirds majority present and voting. Other provisions such as Article 315 deal with Public Service Commissions rather than creating new elite administrative cadres. This dynamic federal provision is a standard topic for polity preparation.
