Army Ranks in India

Army Ranks in India PDF can be broadly classified into three categories: Commissioned Officers, Junior Commissioned Officers, and Other Ranks. These ranks generally correspond with those of Western militaries, and in particular, reflect those of the British and Commonwealth armies. Traditional names for ranks are still used, as well as Western names.

At the time of joining, all Indian Army officers are inducted as officer cadets. The rank of officer cadet is denoted by an officer’s uniform with no insignia. Indian Army officers are continually put through different courses and assessed on merit throughout their career, for promotions and appointments. Substantive promotions up to Lieutenant Colonel or equivalent (subject to clearance of Part B and Part D exam for Major and Lieutenant Colonel) are based on time in service whereas those for Colonel and above are based on selection, with promotion to Colonel also based on time served.
