Provident fund entitlement for tribunal chairpersons and members clarifies applicable central and contributory fund rules and exclusions for concurrent officeholders.

Entitlement to provident fund contribution for Appellate Tribunal Chairpersons and Members depends on prior judicial status, service background, or concurrent tribunal appointments: sitting Supreme Court or High Court Judges may contribute to the General Provident Fund; retired Judges and those qualified as High Court Judges contribute to the Contributory Provident Fund; concurrent chairmanship or membership of another tribunal disqualifies contribution to General or Contributory Provident Fund; certain service cadres and professional practitioners are governed by their respective provident fund rules.
