Amit Shah to present bill on CAPFs in Rajya Sabha on Monday

NEW DELHI: (Mar 21) Union Home Minister Amit Shah will introduce the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026, in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, according to the List of Business issued by the House.

The bill aims to regulate the general rules governing the recruitment and conditions of service of Group-A general duty officers and other officers in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), other rules regarding these forces, and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto, it said.

The proposed legislation 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 the CAPFs be reduced and asked for a cadre review to be carried out in six months.
