Resignation requires a written notice to the Central Government and, unless permitted to relinquish earlier, the officeholder must continue until the earliest of the notice period expiry, the successor's assumption of office, or term expiry. The Central Government may remove a member on specified grounds-insolvency, paid employment during term, conviction involving moral turpitude, prejudicial financial or other interest, abuse of position prejudicial to public interest, or physical or mental incapacity-but removal for conflict of interest or abuse of position requires a Supreme Court report following an inquiry.
