As per a government notification dated November 17, 2022, the term for the appointment has been extended to 10 years, from the earlier 5 years, subject to the superannuation age of 60 years, as per an amendment called Nationalised Banks (Management and Miscellaneous Provisions) Amendment Scheme, 2022.

Earlier, the MD of a public sector undertaking was eligible for a maximum tenure of 5 years or 60 years whichever came earlier. This is also applicable to whole-time directors of all Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). The central government will have the right to terminate the term of office of a full-time director, including the MD, any time before the expiry of the term specified, by giving him a notice of minimum of three months.
