He was granted an Emergency Commission in the Indian Army as a 2nd Lieutenant in September 1942. He was promoted to War Substantive Lieutenant in March 1943 and was subsequently advanced to Temporary Captain in January 1944. When he was released at the end of the war, he was granted the honorary rank of Major.
