Explanation
Under the Agneepath Scheme launched in 2022, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced a 10% reservation for Agniveers in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), including the CISF. Along with reservation, the MHA granted age relaxations for recruitment into these forces:
- For the first batch of Agniveers, an age relaxation of 5 years is provided beyond the prescribed upper age limit.
- For subsequent batches, the relaxation is 3 years.
The standard prescribed upper age limit for recruitment into CAPFs (such as Constable GD) is 23 years. Therefore, for a candidate from the first batch, the maximum age for recruitment into the CISF is 23 + 5 = 28 years. Even though the candidate in this scenario completes their service at age 25 (21 + 4), they remain eligible for recruitment until they reach the ceiling of 28 years.
