The Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) is appointed for a term of 5 years from the date on which he enters upon his office. However, if the CIC attains the age of 65 years before the completion of the 5-year term, he will have to retire. This means that the CIC's term can be cut short if he reaches the age of 65 years before the completion of the 5-year term.
