In 1886, Lord Dufferin appointed a "Public Service Commission" under Sir Charles Aitchison to investigate the problems of the civil services in India. The commission made the following decisions:
(i) It rejected the idea of simultaneous examination for covenanted service and advised the abolition of the statutory civil service.
(ii) It proposed the setting up of provincial civil service, the members of which would be separately recruited in every province either by promotion from lower ranks or by direct recruitment.
(iii) It suggested that the terms 'covenanted' and 'uncovenanted' should be replaced by the terms 'imperial' and 'provincial' respectively.
(iv) It suggested 19 and 23 as the minimum and maximum age limits for Indians at the open civil service examinations.
The recommendations of Aitchison were accepted and the covenanted civil service came to be known as Civil Service of India. The provincial service was called after the particular province.
