  • It is also compulsory to re-enlist 25% of soldiers for full service after a month.
  • The initial proposal intended the release of a particular percentage of recruits following 3 years of active service. More soldiers were to be released after 5 years of military service, with 25% to be retained.
  • However, now the new proposal is all set to recruit 100% of the soldiers who will be released from service after four years, and then 25% re-enlisted for full service.
  • ย Their past four years of contractual service would not be counted towards their full service for the fixation of pay and pension.ย 
  • A substantial sum of money is expected to be saved this way.
