Appointment qualifications for Appellate Tribunal members set experience thresholds and Committee-led selection outcomes. Qualifications and appointment criteria distinguish the President, Judicial Member, Technical Member (Centre) and Technical Member (State), setting judicial, advocacy or Group A service experience thresholds and a minimum age for appointment. Appointments and reappointments are made on recommendations of a Search-cum-Selection Committee whose composition varies by State or other cases, the Chairperson has a casting vote, and the Committee recommends a panel of two names. Terms are four years with specified age ceilings and limited reappointment; pay and allowances align with Central Government scales. Removal and suspension rules, resignation notice, and post-tenure appearance restrictions are provided.
