Rajasthan Public Service Commission

The origins of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) trace back to the recommendations of the Lee Commission in 1923, which advocated for the establishment of a Central Public Service Commission in India. However, the Commission did not emphasize the creation of similar bodies at the provincial level, leaving it to individual provincial governments to manage recruitment and service regulations. Before the unification of Rajasthan, Public Service Commissions existed only in three princely states—Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Bikaner. The ordinance came into effect with the official notification of 22 December 1949, marking the formal establishment of the RPSC. To regulate the functioning of the commission, the Rajpramukh of Rajasthan issued two key regulations in 1951: the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Conditions of Service) Regulation, 1951 and the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Limitation of Functions) Regulation, 1951. Over time, additional frameworks were enacted, including the Rajasthan Public Service Commission Rules and Regulations, 1963 and the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Regulations and Validation of Procedure) Ordinance, 1975, later replaced by the Act of 1976. == Organisation ==
