As of now there are only two ESM Associations which have been given recognition by the Min of Defence who have met the criterion as laid by the Min of Defence. These associations are Air Force Association and Indian Ex-Services League. These two organisations whose central offices had applied for recognition have their branch/sub-offices spread all over the countries in various states/UTs. To that extent, the branch offices of these two recognised associations are also deemed to be recognised by the MoD.
