Citation:

During the hostilities with Pakistan in December 1971, Squadron Leader Jiwa Singh led a formation to search and strike enemy tanks and troops which were engaging our ground forces. He successfully located the hidden tank positions and pressed home his attacks even though his section was encircled by four enemy aircraft. He engaged an enemy F-104 in an aerial combat so that his No. 2 could get away to safety. In the combat, his aircraft was shot at low level as a result of which he was killed.

In this operation, Squadron Leader Jiwa Singh displayed gallantry and devotion to duty of a high order.
