Ex servicemen reservation in SSC CGL

All the posts given above are Group C posts. In which Retired Defense Person gets 10% reservation. For your information, let us tell you that this post is in different departments. For example, Tax Assistant is in both the CBDT and CBIC departments. That's why ESM gets reservation in all these posts, regardless of which ministry it is in.

Apart from this, ESM also gets other benefits. One of them is the relaxation in age limit. In these, the maximum age for some posts is 30 years and for some posts it is 27 years. Defense Person gets 3 years relaxation in age limit.

To calculate the age of Defense Person, his service is removed from his present age. The age left after that is considered his age. For example, if the present age of a defense person is 40 years. If he has served a total of 20 years, then his age is considered to be 40 – 20 = 20 years.
