New Promotion plan for senior officers in armed forces likely to be unveiled soon

The Department of Military Affairs has reportedly decided for a common annual confidential report for senior officers of armed forces. The officers include two-star and three-star rank serving officers. The step will pave the way for a new promotion plan which is likely to be introduced soon. The armed force comprises of the Indian Army, Navy and Indian Air Force. The procedure is further going to be introduced in other ranks. A highly placed source claimed that this major step would be instrumental in achieving the commonality in the procedure and assessment.
