Recruitment and conditions of service for Settlement Commission members set selection, retirement, remuneration, and tenure rules. Appointment to Chairman, Vice Chairmen and Member posts is confined to specified serving officers and made by the Central Government on recommendation of a Selection Committee. Serving officers must retire from parent Central Government service before joining and, on such retirement, are entitled to pension, gratuity and commutation under prior rules and cash equivalent for earned leave subject to an overall encashment cap. Remuneration and allowances align with Group A equivalents, reduced by any pension receipts, and contributory provident fund contributions are permitted under non pensionable conditions. Tenure is fixed with limits and no reappointment; other service conditions mirror equivalent Group A officers.
