A candidate for installation as Worshipful Master must be of good morals, true and trusty, possessing great skill, care, and capacity, and demonstrating a devotion to the fraternity 1.

Before assuming office, the Master-elect is required to give his explicit assent to the ancient charges and regulations 1. These require him to promise to obey the moral law, live creditably, act honorably, remain a peaceable subject, avoid private piques and excess, respect civil magistrates, work diligently, and firmly discountenance innovations or dissenters from the original plan of Masonry 1.

Humility in each officer is also described as an essential qualification, as an article on the Grand Lodge of India's website notes.
