New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to move the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026, in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, after it was passed in the Upper House of Parliament.

The Bill provides for fifty per cent of posts in the CAPFs to be filled by deputation in the rank of Inspector General, and a minimum of sixty-seven per cent 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.

On Wednesday, the CAPF Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha amid a walkout staged by the Opposition.

The Opposition MPs had 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 upto the level of Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) should be progressively reduced over a period of time, say within an outer limit of two years.”

Congress MP Manickam Tagore questioned the timing of the CAPF Bill in the Lok Sabha, alleging that the Centre planned to introduce the Bill on the day when Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit Assam for his pre-planned election rally.

Meanwhile, Amit Shah will also move the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, to recognise Amaravati as the state’s sole capital. The Bill was passed in the Lower House on Wednesday.

The reports of the Standing Committee on Rural Development and Panchayati Raj will be tabled in both Houses.

Union Minister of State for Finance, Pankaj Chaudhary, will lay on the table reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).

Private Members’ Business is also listed in the agenda for both Houses. (ANI)

  1. EVERY SALUTE BY A CADRE OFFICER TO AN IPS OFFICER WILL BE A SILENT F*** YOU, YOU POLITICIAN BOOT-LICKING CORRUPT BASTARDS.”

    OFFICERS didn’t get OGAS and NFFU benefits. This will now even impact PROMOTION both officers and sub ordinate officers.
    JAWANS didn’t get old pension nor any sort of monetary increments or better allowances.

    IPS rarely want DIG posts in remote BSF/ITBP/CRPF sectors – they prefer comfortable IG and above roles as parking spots considering the fact that state police have limited senior post. The new CAPF Bill 2026 locks 50% IG, minimum 67% ADG, and 100% SDG/DG posts for IPS deputation, while cadre officers who sweats, bleeds and grinds in tough areas get blocked either in commandant rank or DIG rank.

    It’s clear favoritism for IPS OFFICERS.
