This Act grants the Kerala Public Service Commission the authority to oversee recruitment and service conditions for administrative staff working for the Travancore and Cochin Devaswom Boards. It mandates these religious trusts to consult the Commission when filling direct recruitment roles, ensuring the process involves expert evaluation of candidate suitability rather than internal decisions alone. If the Commission disagrees with the Board, the matter is referred to the government for a final decision. Ultimately, this law establishes a formal framework for hiring and managing employees within these major religious institutions, bringing their administrative functions in line with standard public service principles and ensuring greater fairness.
