February 6 , 2024 297 days 341 0
  • The Indian army has brought a new fitness policy in view of the “declining physical standards among officers”.
  • The new policy is aimed at bringing consistency in the testing procedure and addressing issues of officers being physically unfit or obese amid the rising threat of lifestyle diseases.
  • The rules at present require quarterly conducting of Battle Physical Efficiency Test (BPET) and Physical Proficiency Test (PPT).
  • If the tests are failed after the improvement period, then punitive actions under Army Regulation (AR) 15 and Army Act 22 will be taken against the personnel.
