Tenure rules for tribunal officeholders set fixed terms, age limits, additional-charge provisions, and consultation on removal.

The rules fix terms of office and age-based cessation for Appellate Tribunal officeholders: Chairperson holds five years or until the earlier prescribed retirement age with a one-year superannuation continuation exception; Members hold five years or until age sixty-five, with serving officers to retire on assuming office. Additional-charge incumbents are governed by their substantive Tribunal rules and cease when full-time appointments occur; the Chief Justice of India must be consulted before removal of members appointed on the Chief Justice's recommendation.
