This Act governs the recruitment and administration of civil services in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

A key feature is the definition of "Domicile," which determines eligibility for appointment. To be a domicile, a person must have lived in the territory for 15 years or studied there, or be a registered migrant.
