Union government increased the upper age limit to 23 from 21 for recruitment under the Agnipath scheme for the year 2022.

Around 46,000 soldiers will be recruited this year between the ages of 17 and a half years and 21 years (23 years for 2022) into the Army, Navy and the Air Force.
The Army will recruit 40,000 soldiers under this scheme, and the process would commence within three months.
