The Indian Army has decided to adopt a common uniform for Brigadier and above rank officers irrespective of the parent cadre and appointment
The decision was taken after detailed deliberations during the recently concluded Army Commanders' Conference.
The headgear, shoulder rank badges, gorget patches, belts and shoes of senior officers of flag rank (Brigadier and above) will now be standardised and common.
The flag-rank officers will now not wear any lanyards.
The changes will be implemented from August 1 this year.
There is no change to the uniform worn by Colonels and below-rank officers of the Indian Army.
