Judicial appointment qualifications require prior judicial or advocacy service and specified administrative-grade experience, with a minimum age requirement.

Eligibility distinguishes judicial and administrative routes: a judicial member must satisfy one of three experience-based paths-judicial office in India, senior Indian Legal Service Grade I post-holding, or prolonged advocacy-with specified periods of tribunal membership, legal posts under the Union or a State, and advocacy interchangeable for computing service. Administrative-route candidates must be from Indian Customs and Central Excise Service Group 'A' and have held Principal Commissioner or Commissioner level or equivalent posts for the requisite period. All appointments require attainment of the age of 45 years.
