The Indian Army’s decision to grant Permanent Commission (PC) to women officers marks a historic milestone in the pursuit of gender equality and inclusivity in the armed forces. To commemorate this significant achievement, the Indian Postal Department has issued a special First Day Cover (FDC), celebrating the contributions and advancements of women in the Indian Army. Historically, women in the Indian Army have served primarily under Short Service Commissions (SSC), with limited tenure and restricted career growth. The landmark Supreme Court ruling in February 2020 mandated the Indian government to extend Permanent Commission to women officers, thereby enabling them to serve longer tenures and assume higher ranks.
