Under the Centre’s new Agnipath policy, 46,000 Agniveers will be recruited for the three services this year, and between 50,000 to 60,000 annually thereafter. Of them, only 25 per cent will be recruited again for a 15-year period, and they will receive pension and lifelong healthcare benefits.
As per the Air Force’s guidelines, civilian candidates born between 29 December 1999 and 29 June 2005 are eligible to register as long as they are either Indian or Nepalese citizens. All eligibility criteria are listed on the IAF’s official Agniveer Vayu website.
