Territorial Army is not a full time employment or occupation; it is service for those who really want to serve their country in spite of having a well settled civilian life. Any gainfully employed civilian person can join Territorial Army. The age bar is quiet relaxed and males up to 42 years of age can join. All personnel of infantry and Departmental TA will be called out for service embodiment by the Central Government or the authority empowered by it to do so, on the eve of national Emergency or for Internal Security duties and training exercises. Failure to report for service on such occasions is punishable under the Territorial Army Act 1948.
