Let $i s(v, G)$ denote the minimum cardinality among all maximal independent sets of $G$ containing $v$. Then $\operatorname{is}(G)=\max \{i s(v): v \in V(G)\}$ is called the independent dom-saturation number of $G$. In this paper, we study the effect of removal of an edge on the independent dom-saturation number of a graph. We also study the concept of $i s$-subdivision number of a graph and initiate a study of edge independent dom-saturation number of a graph $G$.
