Event Summary

The India — Rajya Sabha passed the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026, on April 1, 2026, aiming to create a unified legal framework for personnel across different Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) in India. Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai stated the bill would enhance efficiency and morale, and strengthen the federal structure. The legislation also addresses the appointment of India — Indian Police Service officers in CAPFs, following a 2025 India — Supreme Court of India verdict that called for a reduction in IPS deputations. The Opposition, led by Mallikarjun Kharge, staged a walkout, demanding the bill be sent to a select parliamentary committee, with J.P. Nadda accusing them of disrespecting parliamentary procedures.
