The Bill has a provision to earmark a minimum of 50% of IG level posts, 67% of ADG level posts and all DG and Special DG level posts in the CAPFs for deputation (Representational Image)

New Delhi: Citing the need to retain deputation of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) for operational efficiency through better Centre-state coordination, the Home Ministry is set to bring a bill in Parliament to provide for deputation to a minimum of 50% Inspector General (IG) level posts, 67% Additional Director General-level posts (ADGs) and all Director Generals (DGs) and special officers in the CAPFs for deputation. DG-level posts will be earmarked.TOI was first to report on March 11 that the Union Cabinet had approved the draft of the CAPFs (General Administration) Bill, 2026, which provides for continued deputation of IPS officers to the CAPFs.The recruitment and service conditions of Group A General Duty Officers and other officers/members of the CAPFs are currently regulated by rules issued through an Executive Order. “In recent years, due to the absence of a comprehensive legislation, the regulatory provisions have evolved in a fragmented manner, resulting in numerous litigations on service-related matters and certain functional and administrative difficulties… There is a need to enact a comprehensive legislation to regulate the recruitment, deputation, promotion and other conditions of services of Group A General Duty Officers and other officers… to ensure legislative clarity, preserve their specific operational and functional requirements and comply with administrative and federal requirements and judicial directives To ensure the coherence of the “Statement of Objects and Reasons” outlined in the Statement of Objects and Reasons. Of the bill.The Bill effectively blunts the Supreme Court order passed in May last year, confirming the status of ‘Organized Services’ (OGAS) for Group A CAPF officers for all purposes and directing the government to progressively reduce the deputation posts of IPS officers in the Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) up to the rank of IG in the CAPFs. As per the current recruitment rules for CAPFs, 20% of the posts at DIG level and 50% of the posts at IG level are deputation posts for IPS officers.The CAPF (General Administration) Bill does not retain the 20% deputation quota for DIG level posts.The Supreme Court’s May 2025 decision was seen as a potential career boost for around 13,000 CAPF cadre officers who were complaining of discrimination due to IPS officers holding senior level posts.Noting that IPS officers serving on deputation are an integral part of the CAPFs, the text of the Bill underlines how the CAPFs perform national security and counter-insurgency duties in coordination with state authorities. “In the interest of maintaining Centre-State relations by ensuring close coordination between the Union and the States for effective operational functioning, it is necessary to maintain the existing system of deputation of IPS officers to the CAPFs,” it said.

राज्य आपातकालीन परिचालन केंद्र ने राज्य में बर्फबारी और हिमस्खलन की संभावना को देखते हुए सावधानी बरतने के संबंध में उत्तरकाशी, चमोली, रुद्रप्रयाग, पिथौरागढ़ और बागेश्वर के जिलाधिकारियों को पत्र भेजा है।

MS Dhoni’s future IPL After the former Indian cricketer has once again become a topic of discussion Robin Uthappa Suggested IPL 2026 could be the end of Dhoni’s illustrious career Chennai Super Kings. Speaking on GeoHotstar’s Tata IPL: Out or Out of the Park, Uthappa offered a detailed perspective on Dhoni’s evolving role, the leadership change within CSK and what the upcoming season could mean for the franchise icon.According to Uthappa, Dhoni’s role is expected to increase significantly in the coming season. Instead of being a central figure on the field, he can take a step back and act as a guide for Ruturaj as captain.

“I don’t think CSK should hand over the leadership responsibility to Sanju Samson. You have to give it.” Ruturaj Gaikwad Time to be installed as captain: He has been leading the team since 2024. No matter what people say, he is coming out of MS Dhoni’s shadow. You want it to come out completely and stand in its own light. You want to see what he can produce. You want MS to lead the team and stand on his own when he’s not playing, without the heavy feeling of always being under that energy. “So I think you can see Dhoni being a little more aggressive,” Uthappa said. Uthappa made a bold and emotional prediction about Dhoni’s future, hinting that the 2026 season could be his farewell. The statement has immediately sparked conversations among fans as Dhoni, one of the greatest captains in IPL history, is nearing the final stages of his playing career.“IPL 2026 is likely to be his last year in the yellow jersey. I see him playing a mentor-cum-player role this year. I don’t see him batting at number seven. I see him batting at number eight. Knowing he is going out, he wants to put himself out. I think he will do that. Only then will we see the real potential of Ruturaj Gaikwad as a captain. Give him a few years. If that doesn’t work, you always have Sanju Samson in the team to handle the captaincy duties.Robin on Dhoni’s role in CSK

MS Dhoni in IPL 2025

MS Dhoni’s IPL 2025 season was a mix of increased responsibility, flashes of talent and growing questions about his role in the changing setup of Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni entered IPL 2025 primarily as a finisher and wicketkeeper, with less batting responsibilities compared to his prime years. However, his role changed mid-season when captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out with injury, forcing Dhoni to step back into leadership duties.As captain, Dhoni was responsible for guiding a struggling CSK team during a difficult campaign, balancing leadership with his limited batting role lower down the order. Dhoni mostly batted lower down the order (No. 7 or lower), often coming in during the final overs. His role was not to create innings but to provide quick cameos and finish games.

Wicketkeeping’s excellent performance continues

Even at the age of 43, Dhoni continued to shine behind the stumps. He achieved a historic feat by becoming the first wicketkeeper in IPL history to take 200 dismissals, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest keepers in the league. However, with the inclusion of Sanju Samson, he may be entrusted with the responsibility of wicketkeeping.
