Context: The Supreme Court upheld Permanent Commission (PC) and pensionary benefits for women officers and highlighted systemic bias against Short Service Commission (SSC) officers in the armed forces.
About PC & SSC:
- Type: Two modes of officer entry in Armed Forces — PC (career service) and SSC (short tenure).
- Permanent Commission: Provides full career till retirement with pension and long-term benefits.
- Short Service Commission: Initial 10 years, extendable up to 14 years, without guaranteed career continuity.
- Transition: SSC officers may be considered for Permanent Commission based on selection.
- Coverage: Applicable across Army, Navy, and Air Force, for both men and women.
- Legal Basis: SC linked PC access to Articles 14, 15, and 16 (equality & non-discrimination).
- Key Issue: SSC officers (especially women) faced limited career progression and institutional bias.
