New Delhi (17.01.2025): In view of shortage of officers at various ranks in the central agencies and forces, Union Ministry of Home Affairs has asked state governments to make a conscious attempt to send names of IPS officers to meet the shortage. As of December 18, 2024, posts of 114 SPs, 77 DIGs, 40 IGs, two ADGs and one SDG are lying vacant in various central agencies and forces, including the CBI, CRPF, NIA, ITBP, CISF, BSF, NSG, SSB and others.
Every year, the MHA invites nominations of IPS officers from states for the central deputation to fill up vacancies for ranks ranging from superintendent of police to director general every year. Under the IPS (cadre) rules, 40 per cent of senior duty posts in each cadre are earmarked as Central Deputation Reserve (CDR).
The MHA wrote a letter to state government saying, “It has been the experience that some of the states/cadres do not send sufficient number of names for central deputation. Further, many a time, the state governments send more names of Senior IPS officers, but they do not propose the names for appointment to the posts of SP to IG.”
The MHA asked the state governments that names for 2025 should be sent “on priority basis”. A similar request was made by the MHA in June last year but there had been a lukewarm response from the states on nominating IPS officers for central deputation. To address the issue, the MHA has tried to take strict action against the officers who fail to join even after their names have been put on offer for central deputation.
