High-Level Committee to Review CAPF Group A Cadre Restructuring Following Supreme Court Order
The cadre review for Group A officers of the five Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) is nearing approval, with proposals cleared by the Union Home and Personnel ministries and currently under the Department of Expenditure. A high-level committee, typically led by the Cabinet Secretary, will soon deliberate on the restructuring aimed at improving promotion prospects. This follows a Supreme Court order in May 2025 mandating a comprehensive review after officers sought better career progression compared to IPS officers. The government enacted related legislation in April 2026 to implement these changes.
