Tribunal member removal requires Commission inquiry for complaints involving conflicts, misconduct, incompetence, inefficiency, or paid assignments during tenure.

Section 16 permits removal of Tribunal Chairpersons and Members for insolvency, conviction involving moral turpitude, incapacity, prejudicial interests, abuse of position, incompetence or inefficiency, and paid assignments during tenure. For complaints involving prejudicial interests, abuse, incompetence or inefficiency, or paid assignments, the administering Ministry or Department must conduct a preliminary inquiry and, where supported by material facts and documents, refer the matter for inquiry by the Commission. Removal on these grounds requires that reference and inquiry, followed by appropriate Central Government action on the Commission's recommendation.
