Recently the Indian Army is considering a proposal which allows civilians of the country to serve in the Indian army for three years as ‘tour of duty‘. After this news, many aspirants and civilians are happy and shown interest to join the forces to serve for three years and want to know the joining process for the same. Though the proposal is still in pipeline and more details are awaited. Below are some details related to the tour of duty concept of Indian army for the civilians.
- A proposal is being discussed under which common citizens would be allowed a three year Tour of Duty in the force to serve the nation.
- This proposal is part of the Indian Army’s efforts to attract the best talent of the country into its fold. At present, the shortest tenure one can do in the force is of 10 years under the Short Service Commission.
- “Tour of Duty (ToD)” tenure as both officers and jawans in the backdrop of the urgent need for cadre restructuring amidst the ballooning salary and pension bills adversely impacting military modernization.
- ToD will initially be launched with around 100 vacancies for officers and 1,000 for jawans.
- The feedback has been taken from the different Army commands. There is general acceptance the ToD scheme can be launched as an experiment with a limited number of vacancies. If successful, the vacancies can be increased later,” said Army spokesperson Colonel Aman Anand.
- ToD scheme would entail “voluntary military service” to mark a far-reaching shift away from the existing “permanent service” in the armed forces. “It will not be military conscription like in some countries like Israel. With huge unemployment, India has no dearth of people wanting to join the armed forces,”
- There is no clear picture of how the selection for the Indian Army Tour of Duty will be, as many candidates are asking if there will be any written exam of SSB interview for the same.
The Army currently has around 43,000 officers, with almost 80% of them in the permanent commission (PC) cadre, and 11.8 lakh other ranks. The minimum service tenure for a short-service commission (SSC) officer is 10 years but 50-60% of them are also granted PC to serve till at least 54 years of age and thereafter get pension.
How can I apply for Tour of Duty Indian Army? At the moment there no details on the enrollment process, once the official details are out, SSBCrack will be publishing the same here.

How to apply to “TOUR OF DUTY” in indian army website? is it either through officer entry or Jco entry
Eagerly waiting for the Indian army to open the tour of duty for civilians, can’t wait to join. Please do let us know as soon as possible thank you
Idea is good as it gives opportunity to all defence aspirants but we need to look at the bigger picture as well, a person of 23 or 24 years of age will join TOD for a period of 3 Years but what after that it’s not simple for anyone to join any corporate companies after doing 3 Years of field work. So for that we need the age limit for the same. It’s just my opinion.

I really like this proposal by the Indian Army and expect it soon to be passed ahead & not be only a proposal. ToD can be a good concept and can benefit armed forces with good talent if implemented Successfully. Following Indian Army, Indian Air Force & Navy should also consider this proposal.

“Tour Of Duty” is an innovative idea. It will creat win-win-win situation respectively for Indian Army because there would be more candidates who will prefer to serve in the Army, and after three years the corporate companies will have batter trained candidates to hair and moreover the candidates will be able to evolve there capabilities to best level. The best part is this that our country will have best trained Gentlemen.

Sir, mai indian army me bharti hona chahta hu , mera sapna tha , please sir
Yes Mai Indian army join karna chahunga
I also waiting for full information about tod
Army is not for those who first think of “securing” themselves. And the kind of insecure and imbalanced personality you seem to be, YOU please do not apply to the Indian Army.
Secondly, anybody who works for the Indian Army gets very good jobs after Army.
Example- Airlines hire pilots directly from Defense forces. And many other jobs also give you preference after completing Army.
You are big stupid
Well said bro
Yes I am interested in joining TOD but I want the full procedure to join this please let me know
When i heard i said yes this is what i needed i want to contribute sometime of my life to my country …….
I always want to join this very good idea now we can contribute to our country and more and more fit and professional would be in our country. And after completion 3 years.if there is any war conditions we can be used again
Yes….. Yes……. Yes……. Hurray…. When I read this proposal yesterday I really got into excitement mood.. I am waiting for the further process and procedure to apply for this”TOUR OF DUTY”.
And also I’m preparing for SSB interview too…
While selecting for TOD, will there is any SSB interview selection process?
Tod would be wonderful if they also direct to permanent commission after they see our training and allow the person who have SSB during tour of duty
I am really excited about it
JAI HIND
its a wonderful oppurtunity to join the armed forces and iam waiting very eagerly to join
How we can join tod?
And what about us who are preparing day and night for cds and ssb?
They are not going to stop your hiring for cds and ssb boy. You can continue with your dreams.
I also join indian army just because I have an a potential and i love my country it’s pleasure to me join indian armed forces I serve my nation
हाँ, बहुत बड़ा हाँ, मेरा बचपन से ही सेना में जाने का सपना है, शायद अब वह समय आ गया है, अगर ऐसा हुआ तो मैं आजीवन मोदी सरकार का आभारी रहूँगा। मैं यह भी चाहता था कि अन्य देशों की तरह भारत में भी सेना की ट्रेनिंग कंपल्सरि होनी चाहिये ताकि इसी बहाने मुझे सेना की वर्दी पहनने का अवसर प्राप्त हो।
मेरी हाइट कम है, तो क्या यह मुझे TOD जॉइन करने में बाधा तो नहीं होगा?
और आगे का प्रोसेस प्लीज मुझे बताएं।
What an opportunity given to the youths to prove themselves by serving the nation. And can become more responsible citizen of India. Training have yo be made mandatory fr every citizen to make them understand the pain of our grt Jawans.. i m ready to join.. Jai Hind.
What should be the qualification to join tod and age and caste and where we have to apply pls reply
Sir any age criteria? Can people of 37 years of age can join it?
Deepak, there is no clarity on this at the moment. We will update here once we have an update. You must check Territorial Army too : https://ssbcrackexams.com/course/territorial-army-exam-coaching/
Yes I am also fully interested this opportunity
If given a chance will surely accept the opportunity to serve.
