Military Rank Status: Warrant of Precedence

Nothing could be more distressing. Certain States are flouting Central Govt guidelines with impunity and have made a mockery of the status of military officers.

Some Examples:
  • Govt of MIZORAM has equated Office Superintendents with Captains of the Army
  • Govt of MEGHALAYA has equated DSPs with Majors of the Army
  • Govt of J&K has equated Superintending Engineers with Brigadiers of the Army

    Please see the complete post at: Warrant of Precedence

    I would request serving officers not to follow these illegally issued Warrants since the Army is not obliged to concur with such illegalities being a Central force on the 'Union List' of the Constitution of India. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has very clearly stated that below the rank of Maj Gen, the old Warrant of 1937 shall be taken as a guideline.

    Officers need to be educated to Maintain Military Rank Status, which is otherwise being flouted or relegated by the bureaucrats.
