Meanwhile, within the Rajya Sabha, the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026, will likely be taken up for additional consideration. Union Minister Amit Shah will transfer the Bill for passing.
On March 25, Minister of State (MoS) Home Nityanand Rai launched the Bill within the Upper House, whereas the INDIA bloc MPs opposed it.
The Bill offers for 50% of posts within the CAPFs to be crammed by deputation within the rank of Inspector General, and a minimal of 67% of the posts to be crammed by deputation within the rank of Additional Director General, and all posts within the ranks of Special Director General and Director General shall be crammed by deputation solely.
The Opposition MPs flagged that the Bill goes towards the Supreme Court judgment in 2025, which referred to as for “the number of posts earmarked for deputation in the cadres of the CAPFs up to the level of Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) should be progressively reduced over a period of time, say within an outer limit of two years.”
