The Election Commission of Bharat is led by the Chief Election Commissioner, India. The (CEC)Chief Election Commissioner of Bharat is appointed by the President of India for a term of six years or until the age of 65, whichever comes first. The CEC of India is typically a part of the Indian Civil Service, primarily an Indian Administrative Service.
The income of the (CEC) chief election commissioner seems to be the same as that of a Supreme Court of India Judge, according to the Election Commission (Conditions Of Facility Of Election Commissions As well as Transaction Of Business) Act of 1991. CEC salaries are currently $250,000 per month.
Once selected by the President, of India, it is extremely hard to eliminate the (CEC) Chief Election Commissioner because two-thirds of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members must vote against the CEC for unruly behavior or improper actions.

From its establishment in 1950 until 1989, Election Commission was indeed a single-member body. The President of India appointed two additional commissioners on October 16, 1989, but their term ended on January 1, 1990.
The Election Commissioner Amendment Act of 1989 created a multi-member Commission. Since then, a three-member committee had been in operation, with decisions made by majority vote.
