New Delhi: According to the details published by the IAF on its website, the Agniveers will not be permitted to quit the armed forces before completion of their four year engagement period except in exceptional cases, here on Sunday. 

"Release at own request prior to completion of engagement period will not be permissible for Agniveers except in exceptional cases, with approval of the Competent Authority," the Detailed Brief published by the IAF said.

In exceptional cases when an Agniveer exits before four years, the government component of the Seva Nidhi package will not be paid to them.

"In case of Agniveers exiting before the end of their engagement period in their own request, the 'Seva Nidhi' package to be paid to them will comprise only their contribution including accrued interest thereon," the IAF Brief read.

On completion of the engagement period of four years, Agniveers will be eligible to receive Seva Nidhi' package, which shall comprise their contribution (into the Agniveer Corpus Fund) and matching contribution from the Government and interest on the accumulated amount.

According to the details shared by the IAF, the Agniveers will be entitled to get 30 days leave per year.

As part of the enrolment process, each Agniveer will be required to formally accept all terms and conditions of the Agnipath scheme.

For personnel below the age of 18 years, the enrolment form will need to be signed by the parents/guardians, in accordance with extant provisions, the IAF Brief read. (UNI)
