The spokesperson added that the order specifies grant of Permanent Commission to Short Service Commissioned (SSC) women officers in all the ten streams of the Indian Army. These ten streams are in addition to the existing streams of Judge and Advocate General (JAG) and Army Educational Corps (AEC).
As soon as all affected SSC women officers exercise their option and complete the requisite documentation, their selection board will be scheduled.
