unfit for service it would seem:

K.R. Para 392(iii)c;- Recruits within three months of enlistment considered unfit for service

"Under© the medical officer is to report(at the end of each month) to the C.O., on A.F. B.204, which will then be forwarded with the mans attestation to the brigade commander, who will arrange for his examination by the deputy director of medical services, or medical inspector of recruits. If the man is found unfit the C.O. will discharge the man without delay, and an extract from the certificate will be attached to the discharge documents. A recruit admitted to hospital prior to completing three months service and found to be of defective intelligence, but not actually insane will also be discharged under ©. A cavalry or R.H.A. recruit who is found not to come up to the education standard required for that branch of the service, or a recruit considered by his C.O. undesirable on account of conduct and thus unlikely to make an efficient soldier may be discharged under © subject to the approval of the brigade commander."
