|Rajput Regiment
|Shaurya Chakra was awarded in Investiture Ceremony that took place on 18 April 1963 for an action that took place on 26 October 1961 when as commander of a small patrol of 3 ORs was given a task to carry out reconnaissance of route from the patrol base at Jaura Dhok to Chinamarg Gali and beyond in high altitude snow covered mountains of Pir Panjal Range.
After the patrol covered approximately 4 miles it was fired upon by Pakistani infiltrators of much larger strength. In the encounter some infiltrators were killed others ran away leaving some of their arms and ammunition.

Thus the infiltrators failed in their mission of blowing up Kalai Bridge on Rajauri- Poonch road.

The Indian Government honored 2LT Dharam Datt Bhalla's bravery with the prestigious Shaurya Chakra award.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LIST OF SHAURYA CHAKRA AWARDEES |url=https://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTempSimple.aspx?MnId=Jft3SnEGiQwRdCx0Ps0Gfg==&ParentID=wJSoDSmMBk0eAtlur/k8fA==&flag=8CKP966uzg96kLov0aWdfQ==}}</ref>

|On the day of February 23, 1998, a specific intelligence was received that some terrorists are hiding in the Saloor village of Srinagar with an intention to plot explosives on the way of the convoy of VIPs passing through that route. On the same night around 2100h, Sofi Mohalla of that village was cordoned by the army. The next day at 1100h in the morning while searching the last house of the locality Naik Urba Datt noticed some suspicious movement in the heap of hay on the rooftop. He immediately fired however the terrorists jumped off the rooftop into the Nala and ran towards the jungle of Nambal. To this, Naik Urba Dutt too jumped on the Nala and chased the terrorists with a daunting spirit. Despite being severely injured, he gunned down one militant and wounded another militant who succumbed to his injuries later on. This brave soldier also succumbed to his injuries and got martyred. Naik Urba Datt displayed indomitable courage and exemplary valor and laid down his supreme sacrifice on the line of duty for the nation.

On 23 May 2001, he was part of the second summit team attempting to summit Everest, after having spent two nights at camp – III (26000 ft). However, blizzards forced them to turn back from 27,000ft. Though exhausted by the effort, he refused to accept defeat. On 23 May 2001, at 2200 hours, he commenced his attempt. Re-entering the Death Zone on Everest above 26,000ft at night required every ounce of physical and mental strength apart from conspicuous courage. He soon started losing strength due to cold, strong winds, poor snow conditions and lack of oxygen. But he continued doggedly and at the same time kept encouraging his team-mates. At Hillary Step he was thoroughly exhausted but in a superhuman effort, he marshalled his remaining energy and clawed his way up the dangerous precipice of rock covered with verglas. His mind fought against loss of energy, numbness in fingers and toes and lack of oxygen but he made it through the step. Then with very little left in him except his mental strength and determination, he willed his body to move. Through this great effort he kept helping and encouraging his team-mates. He finally reached the summit to bring glory to the team and the Army. Lance Naik Chhering Norbu Bodh displayed undaunted determination and conspicuous courage in the face of extreme elements."</blockquote>

|On 23 July 2013, Sepoy Lallawmzuala was part of the inner cordon deployed at night during search operation based on intelligence about presence of a terrorist in a house. On commencement of search at approximately 6:30 AM, Sepoy Lallawmzuala was amongst the first to enter the house. His deliberate and methodical search revealed the presence of an armed terrorist in a well concealed hideout behind planks and loose earth in the house. Upon being discovered the terrorist opened indiscriminate fire, however, the soldier’s alacrity and outstanding use of field craft enabled him to manoeuvre to an advantageous position within three metres of the terrorist. His courage under fire, calm collected actions and outstanding fire control led to elimination of a top commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad. His actions ensured that the balance of the search party received critical warning at the opportune time, resulting in effective covering fire and no casualty to own troops.

|Jat Regiment
|Major Pawan Kumar displayed astute tactical acumen, indomitable spirit and raw courage which led to elimination of a hardcore terrorist in September 2017. A top terrorist and the longest surviving terrorist of the valley whilst infiltrating back from [[Azad Jammu and Kashmir]] by taking cover of darkness, thick foliage, boulders and folds of the ground was effectively engaging own troops with deadly fire. The dreaded terrorist could have been engaged only with accurate indirect fire. Major Pawan realising the gravity of situation and danger to safety of own troops, undaunted by heavy volumes of fire, displaying raw courage, used folds of the ground to crawl towards the terrorist and closed in the distance. He lobbed a grenade at the terrorist forcing him to expose himself and in a fierce encounter shot him dead from a close quarter. His elimination not only saved lives of own troops but also prevented revival of terrorism in the valley. Major Pawan Kumar displayed perseverance, dedication to duty, unmatched bravery and raw courage in elimination of a hardcore terrorist.<ref>[https://www.indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTempSimple.aspx?MnId=k5lhod0jTESAjpBHTcchHg==&ParentID=x1UHqJ2E5fTRe7COlnraPw==&flag=D3rRdeA74x88FLBhIxAcFw== Unknown]{{Dead link|date=January 2025|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=19 March 2019 |title=President Ram Nath Kovind presents Shaurya Chakra to Major Pawan Kumar, Jat Regiment, 34th Battalion, Rashtriya Rifles |url=https://orissadiary.com/president-ram-nath-kovind-presents-shaurya-chakra-major-pawan-kumar-jat-regiment-34th-battalion-rashtriya-rifles/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=24 August 2018 |title=आतंकियों से लोहा लेने वाले मेजर पवन कुमार को मिला सेना का बड़ा सम्मान | Major Pawan Kumar got the Shaurya Chakra Award |url=https://www.patrika.com/churu-news/major-pawan-kumar-got-the-shaurya-chakra-award-3302625//}}</ref>
