Tribunal member qualifications and selection by a Search cum Selection Committee determine appointments and service conditions. Rules govern qualifications, appointment, tenure and conditions of service for tribunal and appellate tribunal members under the Finance Act schedule. Appointments are made by the Central Government on recommendation of a Search-cum-Selection Committee which assesses suitability, integrity and adjudicatory experience and recommends panels. The rules prescribe medical fitness, resignation and removal procedures, inquiry processes for misconduct or incapacity, term lengths with age limits, casual vacancy arrangements, remuneration and benefits, pension and provident fund treatment, leave and allowances, post-retirement and post-employment restrictions, oath and secrecy, and a Schedule with tribunal-specific qualifications and Committee composition.
