Service terms aligned with central government pay and benefits govern Commission staff, deputation options and pension arrangements. The rules set the salary, allowances, recruitment method and sanctioned strength of the Secretary, officers and employees as per Schedule I, align service conditions (leave, joining time, superannuation, travel allowances) with comparable Central Government rules, specify entitlement to accommodation, HRA and medical facilities (Schedule II), govern provident fund and group insurance treatment for deputationists and non-deputationists, allow deputationists an option on pay or deputation allowance, require prior approval for official visits abroad, and empower referral of unprovided matters and limited relaxation by the Central Government.
