1. Rock Solid Job Security
Nowadays in India private companies do not give us as much job security as they gave to our parents and grand parents. In an economy where nothing is certain, having a government job is the best for us because we will never be asked to leave from a government job. Best of all there are no pay cuts and only increments throughout our life. Immaterial of whether the economy falls or rupee falls, no one will be sent home jobless from a government job.
2. Pay and Allowances
If you are a freshly passed out and commissioned officer in the armed forces you will make about Rs.42,000 per month. Additionally the allowances that you will get are flying pay, high altitude allowance, sailing allowance, island allowance, pilotage allowance, diving allowance, submarine allowance, commando allowance, etc. Allowances vary between 6,000 to 16,000 plus DA of 60%.
3. Great Facilities for You and Your Family
The facilities like free schooling to children, free medical facilities to dependents, Canteen facilities, Car to senior officers, loan facilities, excellent accomodation where ever you are posted, free air tickets to you and all your family anywhere in India once in a year. Facilities like swimming pool, tennis court, squash courts, etc are part of your accommodation.
Memberships to Clubs, gyms and golf courses are absolutely so cheap that they are as good as free.
4. Great Food at No Cost
If you are an unmarried officer, food is free of cost. Once married the ration used for the preparation are given to the officer at his doorstep free of cost. I dont think any company can afford for such an arrangement to its employees.
