I’ve served 14 years in the Indian Army as an Infantry Soldier (GD). Due to family issues, I need to get discharged urgently. I’ve submitted my application, but my seniority number is 63 and only 25 soldiers are discharged annually. Could you please guide me on how I can expedite the process?

Unfortunately, there’s no specific provision to expedite discharge based on family issues. You can appeal your case to higher authorities highlighting the urgency and presenting supporting documentation. However, the final decision rests with the army, and discharge remains subject to the existing policies and quota.
