      Question

      Under Section 6, the Presiding Officer of a DRT holds

      office for a term of _____ and cannot continue after attaining the age of _____.
      A 5 years from the date of entry into office; eligible for reappointment; not beyond 65 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3 years from the date of appointment; not beyond 62 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5 years; not beyond 70 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3 years; eligible for reappointment; not beyond 65 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 5 years; not beyond 60 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 6 (substituted by the 2016 Amendment Act) states that the Presiding Officer shall hold office for a term of five years from the date of entry into office and shall be eligible for reappointment, with an absolute age cap of sixty-five years. This must be carefully distinguished from the DRAT Chairperson's age limit of seventy years under Section 11. The comparison - DRT Presiding Officer (65 years) vs. DRAT Chairperson (70 years) - is one of the most tested comparative facts in banking examinations. Both positions carry a 5-year term with reappointment eligibility but differ on the retirement age by 5 years.
