The equivalent rank in the [[Indian Navy]] is [[Vice Admiral (India)|vice admiral]] and in the [[Indian Air Force]] is [[Air Marshal (India)|air marshal]].

Officers in the rank of lieutenant general hold important appointments at the army commands and at the army headquarters.

==Army commanders (C-in-C grade)==
[[File:Lieutenant General Yogesh Kumar Joshi UYSM AVSM VrC SM, General Officer-Commanding-in-Chief Northern Command, Indian Army.jpg|thumb|Lieutenant General [[Yogesh Kumar Joshi|Y K Joshi]] in uniform]]
Senior lieutenant generals who are in the C-in-C grade (army commanders), are considered to be in a grade higher than other lieutenant generals. They hold the most senior appointments like the [[Vice Chief of the Army Staff (India)|Vice Chief of the Army Staff]] and the heads of the seven army commands (styled ''general officer commanding-in-chief''). The seven GOC-in-C appointments are:

* [[General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Central Command]]
* [[General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Eastern Command]]
* [[General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Northern Command]]
* [[General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Southern Command]]
* [[General Officer Commanding-in-Chief South Western Command]]
* [[General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Command]]
* [[General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Army Training Command]]

==Insignia==
The badges of rank have a crossed sword and baton and [[State Emblem of India|Ashoka emblem]] above.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Official Home Page of the Indian Army |url=https://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTempSimple.aspx?MnId=LIiNdtO/x4O9toMkmfjaQFWYZzkVm/rTdL4uRicHmRM=&ParentID=wgsBCImdjbR/27+tUKRW13Bb1Fi591IofVN9AKRGCA4=&flag=8CKP966uzg96kLov0aWdfQ== |website=www.indianarmy.nic.in}}</ref>

A lieutenant general wears [[gorget patches]] which are crimson patches with three golden stars. Army commanders in the C-in-C grade have additional oak leaves under the three golden stars.

==Order of precedence==
A lieutenant general in the C-in-C grade ranks at No. 23 on the [[Indian order of precedence]], along with vice admirals of the [[Indian Navy]] and air marshals of the [[Indian Air Force]] in the C-in-C grade. The other lieutenant generals rank at No. 24 in the order of precedence.<ref name="rajyasabha">{{cite web |work=Office of the President of India |publisher=[[Rajya Sabha]] |accessdate=2010-08-05 |date=1979-08-26 |url=http://rajyasabha.nic.in/rsnew/guidline_govt_mp/chap11.pdf |title=President's Secretariat}}</ref>

Lieutenant generals in the C-in-C grade are at the apex pay scale (pay level 17), with a monthly pay of ₹225,000 (US$3,100). Other lieutenant generals, in the HAG+ pay scale (pay level 16) draw lesser, depending on the years in service. However, since they should not draw equivalent or more than the next higher level, the remuneration is capped at ₹224,000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://7cpc.india.gov.in/pdf/sevencpcreport.pdf |date=20 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120092637/http://7cpc.india.gov.in/pdf/sevencpcreport.pdf |archive-date=2015-11-20 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=DelhiJune 29 |first1=India Today Web Desk New |last2=June 29 |first2=India Today Web Desk New |last3=Ist |first3=India Today Web Desk New |title=7th Pay Commission cleared: What is the Pay Commission?
