In a written statement to the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Union Minister of State for Home Nityananda Rai revealed that a 10% reservation is being provided to Agniveers for positions of constables and riflemen in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and Assam Rifles. Rai also mentioned that the age limit and physical test requirements have been relaxed for these positions.
Under the Agniveer Yojana, soldiers are recruited into the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. This scheme creates a new category of appointment where 75% of Agniveers retire without pension benefits after four years, while the remaining 25% continue as permanent soldiers. Consequently, the government has now made provisions for the 75% of Agniveers who retire.
In response to parliamentary queries about Agniveers, Rai confirmed that a 10% reservation will be allocated to ex-Agniveers in the recruitment for Constable/Rifleman positions in the CAPF, along with relaxed age and physical fitness criteria.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has also indicated that the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is prepared to incorporate ex-Agniveers into its ranks, providing the same reservations and relaxations as outlined for the BSF.
This policy seeks to incorporate skilled former Agniveers into key security positions, highlighting the government's dedication to utilizing their expertise and experience.
