They said the MHA weighed all the contours of a policy that grants 100 days of vacation to each CAPF security guard to spend at least 100 days a year with their families. A senior ministry official said that to ensure the swift and smooth implementation of the holiday policy, several rounds of meetings were held at the MHA, and the last one was held earlier this month. The Central Police Reserve Force, one of the largest CAPFs, had suggested to the ministry that casual leave for personnel could be increased from the current 15 days to 30 days, officials said, adding that the rest of the armed forces had also expressed their views. The Special Severance Pay (SSB) was offered to encourage military personnel in certain occupational fields to leave active duty. This incentive is designed to decrease or decrease active service. The use of the NSO ceased to be used on 31 December 2001. You must have met all of the following requirements to receive SSB: The Ministry of Interior (MHA) is likely to announce 100 days of annual leave for each security personnel of all Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), government sources said. The official said security forces had long demanded that the number of vacation days and working days be increased from five to six. Senior security officials deployed in field formations have also admitted that as a result of the implementation of the 100-day annual leave policy, cases of suicide and fratricide will be significantly reduced. It will also reduce the number of cases of RSV (voluntary pension plan) in CAPFs, they added. According to the proposal of the Ministry of Interior (MHA), the five working days could be increased to six.
In field service (battalion deployment), this system is already in effect. In a preliminary communication to Sashastra Seema Bal, the MHA was provided with information on the nature of service, public holidays and working hours of staff deployed at headquarters, the need to work on Saturdays and Sundays, etc. The government is working on a new leave policy for the Central Paramilitary Forces, under which officers and jawans in the command and border service will receive 15 days of causal leave, seven more than the existing days, and up to 60 days of the current 30 days off, sources told Sashastra Seema Bal. A senior SSB officer said that in addition to providing facilities for security force personnel, the Interior Ministry was considering making its duties and leave policy reasonable. „The directors general of the security forces regularly reflect on the problems faced by their staff and how they can be resolved,” he said. The government is also trying to improve housing infrastructure for CAPF staff, and security personnel in field trainings are increasingly having family shelters to accommodate their families, officials said, adding that this would also reduce the need for holidays for the Jawans. Currently, CAPF personnel receive an average of nearly 75 vacation days per year, which can be increased or decreased depending on the operational needs of the force.

This is a great responsibility of the government, which will soon be fulfilled,” Shah said.

Another senior SSB officer said all central paramilitary forces had sent a proposal to the MHA to increase reserve battalions and the capacity of existing personnel.
A committee also suggested to the government that CRPF jawans be deployed near their hometowns.

The programme is a joint initiative of the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Health and the National Health Authority. IANS | New Delhi Last updated on 24. April 2022 09:36 SI officials said CAPF Directors General submitted their recommendations after receiving feedback from trainings in the field. According to a rough estimate, more than 80,000 security personnel have used VRS over the past ten years, which is also the main reason for the overload of emergency personnel duty hours. The BSN was a one-time lump sum payment made on a member`s last day of service. The amount of the BSN lump sum was calculated by multiplying the base salary for the last year of service by 15%. This number was then multiplied by your years of active service.
