The Centre has brought an ordinance to extend the tenure of Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) directors up to five years. <br /> <br />The chiefs of the central agencies currently have a two-year tenure. <br /> <br />As per the ordinances promulgated on Sunday, a CBI or ED director can be appointed first for a period of two years, but if needed, the tenure can be extended for three more years. This will require three separate annual extensions. <br /> <br />However, no extension can be granted to an ED or CBI chief after a period of five years.
