The confidential bio-data form including a declaration of assets and liabilities, to be filled and submitted by each person is published in the Parliament website.
The Committee also will publish an advertisement in 6 daily newspapers in all three languages, informing the general public about the persons to be examined by the Committee, and the posts to which they are either appointed or designated. Then, an opportunity will be available for the general public to submit representations in writing, with the stipulated period, which the Committee will consider at the examination.
