- The Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026, is likely to be introduced and taken up for detailed discussion in the Rajya Sabha.
- The Bill seeks to establish a comprehensive and uniform legal framework governing recruitment, promotions, deputation, and service conditions across all Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs).
- At present, forces such as the Central Reserve Police Force, Border Security Force, ITBP, CISF, and SSB operate under separate Acts, leading to policy inconsistencies, administrative delays, and frequent service-related disputes.
- The Bill proposes structured deputation of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers, including 50% of Inspector General posts, at least 67% of Additional Director General posts, and all top-level posts like Special DG and DG through deputation.
- The proposal may limit their promotion opportunities and affect career progression despite long years of service.
- The Bill is linked to the 2025 directions of the Supreme Court of India, which recommended the cadre reforms and reduction of IPS deputation to address stagnation issues.
- Currently, CAPFs play a crucial role in internal security, border management, counter-insurgency operations, and election duties across India.
