# Agniveer scheme benefits: Rs 10.04 lakh package, 50% reservation 2026-10-10T22:46:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The government has outlined benefits for Agniveers after their four-year service ends, including a tax-free service fund package of approximately Rs 10.04 lakh, a life insurance cover of Rs 48 lakh during service, and a skill certificate to aid in job interviews. A special portal is being prepared by the Ministry of Home Affairs to help former Agniveers find jobs in the corporate and government sectors. In central security forces such as BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP and Assam Rifles, 50 per cent of constable (general duty) and rifleman posts are reserved for former Agniveers, who will also be exempt from physical tests and written exams. Several state governments, including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, have reserved 10 to 20 per cent posts in police and other departments for former Agniveers, along with an age relaxation of three to five years. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The package and reservation benefits address the central concern of youth and families about post-service employment. While the one-time payout and reserved posts in security forces offer a clear pathway, the actual impact depends on how many of the reserved seats are filled and whether the planned MHA portal delivers enough private-sector options. The next step is the portal's rollout, which will determine how well the scheme translates service into long-term careers. ## Coverage - aajtak.in Facts-only listing of benefits, no evaluation or criticism This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
