The Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026 is expected to be taken up in the Rajya Sabha. It seeks a single legal framework for recruitment, promotion, deputation and service conditions across CAPFs such as CRPF, BSF, ITBP, CISF and SSB, which now operate under separate Acts. The Bill provides for IPS deputation to 50% of Inspector General posts, at least 67% of Additional Director General posts and all Special DG and DG posts, raising concerns over cadre officers' promotions. It is linked to the Supreme Court's 2025 directions on cadre reforms.
