Meanwhile, in the Rajya Sabha, the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026, will be taken up for further consideration. Union Minister Amit Shah will move the Bill for passing.

On March 25, Minister of State (MoS) Home Nityanand Rai introduced the Bill in the Upper House, while the INDIA bloc MPs opposed it.

The Bill provides for 50% of posts in the CAPFs to be filled by deputation in the rank of Inspector General, and a minimum of 67% of the posts to be filled by deputation in the rank of Additional Director General, and all posts in the ranks of Special Director General and Director General shall be filled by deputation only.

The Opposition MPs flagged that the Bill goes against the Supreme Court judgment in 2025, which called 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.”
