In what will be a radical change in the promotion policy for top military generals if implemented, the defence ministry is “examining” a proposal that the commanders-in-chief (Cs-in-C) in the Army, Navy and IAF should primarily be selected on merit rather than seniority.
With the impending creation of integrated theatre commands, the proposed aim is to concomitantly evolve “a more progressive, common and merit-based” policy for the promotion of officers to three-star ranks (Lt-Generals in Army, Vice Admirals in Navy and Air Marshals in IAF) in general and Cs-in-C (senior three-stars who head different commands in armed forces) in particular, say sources.

Interesting military share PO1 William "Chip" Nagel ... the Indian military has improved quite a bit over the last few decades. This switch to a merit based system, will likely continue their improvement on the military-front in India. Thanks!
