Three clasps were authorised, although no medals were awarded with more than two, since no unit qualified for both the Mooltan and Chilianwala clasps. The medal was issued without a clasp to those who were present in the Punjab but did not take part in any of the principal battles. The three clasps awarded were: • Mooltan • 7 September 1848 – 22 January 1849. Awarded to troops engaged in the siege of Multan. In total, 18,967 of these clasps were awarded, 2,900 to Europeans and 16,067 to Indian troops. • Chilianwala • 13 January 1849. Awarded to troops under the command of Lord Gough who engaged with the Sikh army of Sher Singh and Lal Singh near Chilianwala. In total, 21,453 of these clasps were awarded, 4,300 to Europeans and 16,153 to Indian troops. • Goojerat • 21 February 1849. Awarded to troops under the command of Lord Gough who defeated the Sikh army of Sher Singh at Goojerat. In total, 32,960 of these clasps were awarded, 6,200 to Europeans and 26,760 to Indian troops. The clasps read downwards from the top of the medal, varying from the usual practice of placing the earliest clasp nearest the medal.
