Recruitment and service terms: NCLAT staffing governed by pay matrices, selection/deputation procedures and service conditions. These rules govern recruitment, appointment, classification and service conditions for National Company Law Appellate Tribunal staff, applying to posts in Schedule I and deeming specified incumbents as duly appointed. Appointments are by the Central Government or delegate, with posts at or above Level 11 requiring Central approval. Recruitment methods include direct recruitment, promotion, deputation and absorption with detailed eligibility, qualifying service, maximum deputation periods and committee compositions. Service conditions, pay, allowances, medical entitlements and disciplinary regimes align with corresponding Central Government rules; deputationists retain parent service retirement and insurance rules while the Tribunal remits contributions.
