The right to sole guardian is given to SGPC every 4 years in a fair elections in which Sikhs from around the world participate. Unlike SGPC in India, PSGPC is not an Independent fully Sikh-owned body and is controlled by Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) of Pakistan.^[9]^[10] Thirteen members are appointed by Government of Pakistan, and these then members elect the president and the secretary-general.^[11]^[12]
