For the first batch of Agniveers, the Ministry of Home Affairs announced a 5-year relaxation in the upper age limit for recruitment into CAPFs (including CISF). Assuming the standard upper age limit for recruitment (e.g., Constable GD) is 23 years, the relaxed upper age limit for the first batch of Agniveers is 23 + 5 = 28 years. An individual who joined Agneepath at 21 and served for 4 years would be 25 years old upon release. They can be recruited by CISF as long as they meet the eligibility criteria, including the age limit, which is relaxed up to 28 years for the first batch. Therefore, they can be recruited until the age of 28 years.

The age relaxation for the first batch of Agniveers applying for CAPFs is 5 years beyond the prescribed upper age limit for the post.

For subsequent batches of Agniveers, the age relaxation for CAPF recruitment will be 3 years beyond the prescribed upper age limit. The standard upper age limit for Constable (GD) in CAPFs is typically 23 years (with relaxations for OBC/SC/ST as per rules). The 5-year relaxation for the first batch made the effective upper age limit 28 years for them for these posts.
