History[edit | edit source]
After the Independence of India, Captain Ajitendu Chakraverti was the first Indian to be promoted to the rank of commodore, when he took over as the officiating Chief of Staff at Naval Headquarters.[1]
Appointments[edit | edit source]
Officers in the rank of commodore hold important appointments like Commodore Commanding Submarines (COMCOS). The command and control of all submarines with the Western and Eastern Naval Commands resides with the COMCOS. The COMCOS (West) and COMCOS (East) report into the FOC-in-C of their respective commands. Officers in the rank of commodore serve as commanding officers of shore establishments like INS Hansa, INS Shivaji, etc. Commodores also fill appointments of naval officer-in-charge (NOIC) of naval areas. The naval attachés and naval advisors at India's high commissions and embassies in select countries are officers of the rank of commodore.[2][3][4] At Naval headquarters, commodores hold the appointments of principal directors of directorates and branches.
Insignia[edit | edit source]
The flag of a vice admiral has a gold-blue octagon bearing naval crest in the middle, and a blue star at hoist side. The badge of rank consists of a band of gold lace, with a circle of lace above. A commodore wears gorget patches which are golden patches with one white star. In addition to this, the double-breasted reefer jacket has one broad golden sleeve stripe with a circle above.
Pay scale[edit | edit source]
Commodores are at pay level 13A, with a monthly basic pay between ₹139,600 (US$2,000) and ₹217,600 (US$3,100) with a monthly service pay of ₹15,500 (US$220).[5][6][7]
