In the long-drawn battle between IPS officers and officers of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) over better pay to the latter, the Home Ministry has issued an order to directors-general (D-Gs) of the forces and asked them to not only form internal committees for grant of non-functional selection grade (NFSG) to CAPF officers but to also frame new recruitment rules.
The IPS, who hold all senior positions in forces such as CRPF, BSF, SSB, CISF and ITBP, are locked in a battle with cadre officers of these forces for grant of non-functional financial upgradation (NFFU) and NFSG. Both ensure enhanced pay for cadre officers.
The matter has been of concern to Home Minister Amit Shah, as the government has claimed grant of NFFU to forces among its achievements in 50 days and 100 days of the government.
