The Madras Service Commission came into existence in 1929. Madras Presidency was the first province in India to establish the Service Commission. The Madras Service Commission was renamed as Madras Public Service Commission in 1957. In 1970, when Madras state became Tamil Nadu state, the Madras Public Service Commission automatically became the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC).
