Any person seeking such discharge must follow the procedure as follows:-
(a) Applications seeking premature discharge from service shall be
carefully examined by the AOC/Stn Cdr/CO concerned and deserving cases
shall be processed expeditiously. The AOC/Stn Cdr/CO concerned may thus
forward applications for discharge from service without going into the process
of verification through the District authorities related to the grounds on which the discharge is sought by an airman. Only in those cases where any doubt
exists, necessary verification is to be done through Dy Commissioner/
Collector or DSS&A Boards of the district related to grounds on which the airmen are seeking discharge.
(b) Documents are to be forwarded in original and one attested copy each thereof along with the application depending on the grounds brought out in it.
(c) On receipt of the investigation report / medical certificate applications for discharge from service will be forwarded by the
Commanding Officer with their personal recommendations and supporting documents in original (i.e investigation report/Medical certificate etc), to the concerned Command Headquarters for onward submission to AFRO, In addition an intimation through signal be sent to AFRO/AFGIS/IAFBA for ascertaining the outstanding loan.
(d) At Command Headquarters, all recommendations for discharge of
airmen are to be signed by SOsA/SAASO or in his absence by SPSO/CPSO only. Units under the administrative control of Air Headquarters are to forward
such application directly to the AFRO. All such applications will be scrutinized at the AFRO and forwarded to Air Headquarters along with the recommendations of AOC, AFRO.
(e) Applications for discharge will be considered only when submitted by
the affected airmen through proper service channel as stated in preceding
paragraphs.Applications/correspondence submitted by the relatives of airmen or any other individual known to them will not be considered or entertained at Air Headquarters.
