The Yudh Seva Medal is one of India's military decorations for distinguished service during wartime. It is awarded for a high degree of distinguished service in an operational context, which includes times of war, conflict, or hostilities and may be awarded posthumously.
The award is the wartime equivalent of the Vishisht Seva Medal, which is a peacetime distinguished service decoration.
