Declaration of fidelity requires chairperson and members to take an oath and sign a charter affirming ethical standards. The regulation requires the Chairperson and every Whole Time Member to take an Oath of Office and Secrecy in the prescribed schedule format before entering duties, and requires every Member to sign a Charter of Conduct affirming allegiance to high standards of ethics and integrity in the prescribed schedule format; incumbents already in office must sign the Charter within a limited period after the Regulations come into force.
