According to the Section 15 of the SEBI Act, the current upper age limit of a tribunal member is 62 years. The tribunal is a forum for challenging the capital market regulator’s decisions.

“Since normally only retired officials join the post, in the stipulated 62 years of age, a maximum of two years of service is available for such officers in the tribunal resulting in non- utilisation of full and effective services of such officers,” a government statement said.
