• C. Article 148 (1) of Constitution only
• D. Article 147 of Constitution only

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Article 148 (3) and Second Schedule of the Constitution of India

Article 148(3) - Comptroller and Auditor-General of India says that the salary and other conditions of service of the Comptroller and Auditor-General shall be such as may be determined by Parliament by law and, until they are so determined, shall be as specified in the Second Schedule:

Provided that neither the salary of a Comptroller and Auditor-General nor his rights in respect of leave of absence, pension or age of retirement shall be varied to his disadvantage after his appointment.

Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the schedules do not specify the salary provisions, hence, incorrect.
