Gen Sinha's present term expires on August 31.
The general had first been appointed governor of the northeastern state during the tenure of the Inder Kumar Gujral-led United Front government in New Delhi.
The state was then ruled by the Asom Gana Parishad, which was a constituent of the United Front.
Gen Sinha had resigned from the army back in 1984 after he was superseded for the chief's post by General A S Vaidya.
