New Delhi, Apr 2 (PTI) A bill to create a unified legal framework governing personnel across different Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), replacing the current patchwork of separate service-rule regimes for the five central forces, was approved by Parliament on Thursday.
The bill, passed by the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, was approved by the Lok Sabha by a voice vote.
Several opposition members said the bill should be referred to a joint committee of Parliament for threadbare scrutiny and stakeholder consultations.
An amendment moved by Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra to refer the bill to a select committee of the Lok Sabha was also negated by a voice vote.
The Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill comes after the Supreme Court, in October last year, dismissed the Centre’s plea seeking a review of its 2025 verdict that directed that IPS officers’ deputation in CAPFs up to the level of Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) should be “progressively reduced” and asked for a cadre review to be carried out in six months.
