I. The office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India is indeed created by the Constitution of India, ensuring its constitutional status and independence. III. The CAG can be removed from office only through a process similar to impeachment, which involves both Houses of Parliament. IV. The CAG is responsible for auditing all expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India, as well as from the state and Union Territory funds, to ensure that the expenditure conforms to the laws and regulations. However, II is incorrect because the CAG holds office for a term of six years or until the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier, not five years or 60 years as stated.
