- 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.
