It may be awarded to civilians as well as military personnel, including posthumous awards. It is the ''peacetime equivalent'' of the [[Maha Vir Chakra]]. It is second in order of precedence of peacetime gallantry awards; it comes after [[Ashoka Chakra (military decoration)|Ashoka Chakra]] and before [[Shaurya Chakra]]. Before 1967, the award was known as the ''Ashoka Chakra, Class II.''

On either side is a lotus design. The centre is blank, perhaps with the intent that details of the award be engraved there. There is no indication of the class on the pre-1967 awards.
