Clause 21

Any volunteer performing colour training service may, on giving three months’ notice in writing of his desire to be released from the Force, be so released by the Commandant:Provided that nothing in this section shall exempt a national serviceman who, after completion of his colour training service, has volunteered for further colour training service, from liability for reserve service in accordance with the provisions of Part IV.

No national serviceman shall be released from colour training service before he has completed three years of such service unless and until his enlistment notice has been duly cancelled or amended by the proper authority under the provisions of any written law for the time being in force relating to national service.
