A Short Service Commission (SSC) Officer does not get pension - since the minimum pensionable service to be eligible for pension is 20 years - whereas the maximum SSC service is 14 years.

SSC Officers are constantly fighting for other benefits like Ex-Servicemen’s Status, ECHS Healthcare, CSD Canteen Facility etc - and some benefits are being granted to SSC from time to time and from state to state.

If you are interested in a career in the Defence Services (Army, Navy, Air Force) - it is better to join as a Permanent Commission (PC) Officer - Short Service Commission (SSC) is not a preferred career option.
