Salary to Cadets undergoing their pre-commission training

Salary to Trainees

The Salary to cadets undergoing their pre-commission training at the various training academies get a fixed stipend of Rs.21,000 per month for the last one year of training before commissioning. This stipend is converted to pay for all purposes on successful completion of training and the arrears of the allowances admissible are paid.

The VI Central Pay Commission did not agree to the Services` demand to grant provisional commission in the last year of training with full pay and allowances and all attendant benefits of the commissioned rank as successful completion of pre-commissiontraining is a pre-requisite for the grant of commission in the Defence Forces.

This information was given by Minister of Defence Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Sivasami C in Lok Sabha today.
