" If a person does not arrive on time, this does not relieve him of the obligation to appear at the TCC. Regardless of the date of receipt of the subpoena, you are obliged to comply with its requirement,” the message says..

If the person liable for military service did not know that he had received a summons, it is necessary to have certain evidence.

" Then you can contact the TCC, and the violation will be removed,” explained the TCC.

The TCC explained that the law defines as valid reasons a natural disaster, illness, death of a relative or hostilities.
