The equivalent is Lieutenant-Commander in the Sri Lanka Navy and Squadron Leader in the Sri Lanka Air Force. From 1949 to 1972, in the Ceylon Army the rank insignia for a major was a crown, similar to the of the British Army Major. In 1947, at its formation the uniform of the Serjeant-at-arms of the Sri Lankan Parliament was molded on uniforms of a major.
