Which factor is not considered for the appointment of Chief Secretary of State ?
Answer: C
The factor not considered is recommendation by Central Government.
The Chief Secretary, the senior-most civil servant of a state and head of its secretariat, is chosen by the state government, in effect by the Chief Minister. The choice normally takes account of seniority in the IAS cadre of the state, the officer's service record, and the Chief Minister's own assessment of the officer, since the Chief Secretary is the Chief Minister's principal adviser.
The Union Government does not recommend the person. Unlike the Union Cabinet Secretary, the Chief Secretary is a state appointment, so a central recommendation is not one of the factors.
