Who Should Apply for Territorial Army 2026
This suits ex-servicemen who hold a pension and ex-women employees of the forest departments with at least 20 years of service, but serving or non-pension ex-servicemen should not apply.
The exact qualification, age and other conditions are under Eligibility Criteria.
Watch Out Before You Apply
- Bring your original discharge book and original Pension Payment Order, because the rally checks originals and copies alone will not do.
- Carry eight recent passport-size coloured photographs, and do not bring photos that are older or in black and white.
- Get your character certificate from the Village Sarpanch or Police Authority before the rally, since the notice requires it.
- Do not alter or overwrite any certificate, as tampering can cancel your selection and lead to legal action.
- Do not pay anyone for a place in the rally, because selection can be cancelled if a bribe is found.
