The Agnipath Scheme, which was launched by Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and the three service chiefs, would restart the recruiting process for the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, which has been stalled for the past two years. The Cabinet Committee on Security, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the Agnipath Scheme.

The Government of India will soon begin recruiting for Agnipath 2022. For more information, see the sections below. If you are preparing for competitive exams and looking for expert guidance, you can download our General Knowledge Free Ebook Download Now.

Youth between the ages of 17.5 and 21 will be recruited into the three Indian Armed Services under the Agnipath Scheme. They will get six months of training, which will be offered to men and women in stages based on service-specific requirements.

Agniveers will be enrolled in the Agnipath scheme on an 'All India All Class' basis, and they will have their own rank in the Indian Armed Forces with their own insignia.

In 90 days, Agnipath recruitment rallies will begin, with approximately 46,000 soldiers being recruited under the scheme this year, including 40,000 vacancies for the Indian Army and 3,000 for the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy.

When the Agniveers are freed after four years, they will be rewarded with high higher educational credits, lateral absorptions, and other bridging courses, in addition to the financial package.

Up to 25% of Agniveers will be allowed to apply voluntarily to join the services on a regular basis after departing the services after four years. It will be determined by their merit and organizational needs.

Apart from the usual risk and hardship allowances, Agniveers will be paid Rs. 30,000-Rs. 40,000 per month under the Agnipath Scheme.

The Seva Nidhi Contributory Package of the Agnipath Scheme requires troops to contribute 30% of their monthly emoluments, with the government matching that amount. The Agniveers will receive Rs. 11.7 lakh (plus interest) at the end of the four-year period, which would be tax-free.

Agniveers will earn nearly Rs. 1 crore in the event of death on duty, which includes the Seva Nidhi Package and the entire payment for the time they were unable to serve. They will receive Rs. 44 lakh in the event of disability, based on the percentage of disability.
