Explanation

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) indeed holds the rank of General, which is the highest rank in the peacetime Indian Army. Field Marshal is a honorary/ceremonial rank (held only by Sam Manekshaw and K.M. Cariappa) awarded for exceptional wartime service. Brigadier and Major-General are lower ranks in the hierarchy.
