CESTAT Wants Members - Both Technical and Judicial

GOVERNMENT has called for applications for the Posts of Technical and Judicial Members of the CESTAT.

A candidate for judicial Member should be at least 45 years old and should have been a Judicial Officer for at least ten years or a Member of the Indian Legal Service, Grade-I for at least three years or an advocate for at least ten years. Retirement age for Members is 62 years.

Technical Members are selected from serving or retired officers of CBEC of the rank of Commissioner and above. The last date for receipt of applications is 31 st December 2014.

Members get a Pay scale of Rs. 75,500 - 80,000 - the gross salary would be around Rs. 2 lakh. Technical Members, on retirement from the Tribunal will get pension according to their eligibility on retiring from the CBEC.

Not a very attractive job except for the additional two years they get in the Tribunal. Not many capable officers will join the Tribunal unless some better incentives are given.
