Answering a query, he said: "I am with you that short tenures in higher ranks (are) not desirable."
"I have reviewed this. (Have) already given directions," he said, adding that he has given directions to increase them from 12 months to 14-15 months.
He said short tenures had come about due to addition of ranks.
Answering another query, Gen. Dalbir Singh said there was shortage of people volunteering for Short Service Commission.
"Complete vacancies are not being fulfilled because the Short Service Commission is not as attractive (as permanent commission)," he said.
