Citation:

On 13 December 1971, Captain Surjit Singh Parmar was the observation post officer with a company of 11th Gorkha Rifles which was assigned the task of attacking enemy entrenchments in the Eastern Sector. As the attack progressed, the enemy brought down accurate and effective machine gun and artillery fire. During the assault, his radio operator was wounded. Undaunted by this, he took over the radio set and carrying it himself continued to direct own artillery fire most effectively. Though hit by a bullet in the arm and by a splinter in the neck, he remained with the troops till the objective was captured. In this action, Captain Parmar displayed gallantry, determination and devotion to duty of a high order.
