The Jharkhand Home Guards (Amendment) Act, 2016

This legislation amends the legal framework for the Jharkhand Home Guards by modifying the service requirements for volunteers serving the state government. Specifically, the Act changes who is called out for duty, establishing that Home Guard personnel must complete four years of service, including training periods, and cannot be called beyond age 60. The legislation applies to all Home Guards throughout Jharkhand state and came into effect on the date of its official Gazette notification. This update helps maintain an organized home guard force by standardizing service terms and ensuring volunteers remain within appropriate age limits for emergency response capabilities.
