Consider the following statements :
(i) The Chief Election Commissioner of the Election Commission of India is paid the salary equal to the salary of the Judge of the Supreme Court.
(ii) The term of Chief Election Commissioner of the Election Commission of India shall be for a period of 6 years from the date of assuming office or till the age of 65 years, whichever comes first.
(iii) An Election Commissioner may, at anytime, by writing under his hand addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner, resign his office.
Choose the correct statement.

The correct answer is (A) (i) and (ii).

• Statement (i) is correct as per the Election Commission (Conditions of Service of Election Commissioners and Transaction of Business) Act, 1991, which stipulates that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) shall be paid a salary equal to that of a Judge of the Supreme Court.
• Statement (ii) is correct as the tenure of the CEC is prescribed as 6 years from the date of assuming office or until reaching the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier, in accordance with Article 324 of the Constitution and the relevant Service Acts.
• Statement (iii) is incorrect because an Election Commissioner (not the CEC) must submit their resignation letter to the President of India, not to the Chief Election Commissioner. The CEC can only be removed from office in the same manner and on the same grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court.
