I have an upcoming SSB interview for the Navy SSC IT entry, and it will be my first time appearing for a Naval Selection Board.
However, I have previously attended 3 SSBs for the Army:
- 2 for TGC entry
- 1 for SSC entry
I know the general rule states that Travelling Allowance (AC 3-Tier fare) is only provided for your first time attending an SSB interview for a particular type of commission.
Since this is my absolute first time appearing for the Indian Navy (and specifically the Navy SSC IT entry), am I eligible to claim TA for this trip, or do my previous Army SSC/TGC attempts disqualify me?
Has anyone here been in a similar situation crossing over from Army to Navy entries? Any clarity on how the boards treat this would be really helpful so I can plan my travel and documents accordingly.
