CHAPTER-I

ORGANISATION

Object of GC Scheme

1.1 The Group Centre organization scheme was introduced in the CRPF in 1968 to relieve the
frequently mobile CRPF Battalions of several house keeping functions like drawal of pay and
allowances, maintenance of service records and provisioning of stores and equipments.

GC & Attached Bns as Independent Units

1.2. While the Group Centre will assist the attached Battalions in most of their house keeping
functions as prescribed, the Group Centre, as well as attached Battalions, will function as
independent Units under respective DIsGP/ Commandants with separate sanctioned
Staff/Establishments.

Unattached Battalions

1.3 Unattached Bns will function as independent Units under respective Commandants with
separate sanctioned Staff/Establishment.

Mahila Battalions

1.4 As laid down in MHA Letter No. III-11039/11/86-GLQ dated 21/10/1987, the objective of
raising Mahila Battalion is to tackle agitations involving women agitators, carry out
search/frisking of women when required, route lining and security of women’s enclosures during
public meetings, Law and Order duties during Fairs and Festivals, Relief and Rescue Operations
during communal riots and natural calamities and guarding Installations and Establishments.

Break up of GC Strength

1.5 Though the Group Centre is primarily meant for functional house keeping assistance to its
attached Battalions and the staff sanctioned is based on such functional requirements, proper
administration and control of the Group Centre personnel should be based broadly on the Coy
and Platoon-wise break up of Group Centre strength as well as near sanction strength grouping
within such Coy/ Platoon formations based on the nature of duties and other relevant
administrative consider-ations.

Internal Administration of Group Centre.

1.6 In view of its special house keeping functions and the existing staff sanction for internal
 151
administration of the GC personnel, it could not be desirable to have water-tight
compartment administration of Coys/ Platoon in the Group Centre. Common personnel
administrative duties like disbursement of pay and allowances, issue of replacement of clothing,
grant of earned leave, maintenance of Orderly Room Register and Sick Report Register etc. will
have to be attended to by the Coy Commander (HQ). The remaining personnel administrative
and disciplinary duties of an immediate and direct nature like grant of CL, issue of out-passes,
Kit inspection, Arms inspection, cleanliness of barracks, supervision of man-management, etc
will be attended to by the Gazetted Officer incharge of Coy/ Platoons. Gazetted Officer incharge
should appreciate the element of quality in control over personnel and ensure proper consultation
and co-ordination with their counterparts in the interest of smooth administration and man
management of the whole GC.

Maintenance of Posting Register in GC.

1.7 Broadly, the strength of a Group Centre could be conveniently divided into five
Companies/Platoons viz:-

(i) Training Company consisting of the Training and Education Platoons.

(ii) Adm Company consisting of the Administration Platoon.

(iii) Quarter Master Platoon consisting of the QM personnel.

(iv) MT Platoon consisting of the MT personnel and

(v) Garrison Platoon consisting of Tear Smoke, Band and Garrison, Platoon personnel and all
other personnel temporarily attached to the GC.

Grouping of personnel for messing arrangements may be on the same pattern, unless changes are
necessary due to local conditions. Details of posting of the personnel, sub-formation-wise would
be maintained at the Group Centre HQ in a Posting Register in CRPF- 118 and similar details
pertaining to them would be maintained by all such Formation Commanders.

Posting details to be maintained in Attached and Unattached Bns.

1.8 CRPF Bn consists of the HQ Company and 7 Service Companies, each service Company
being formed by Coy HQ and 3 Platoons and each Platoon having 3 Sections. It is necessary to
maintain these sub formations intact as far as possible for proper administrative, disciplinary and
operational control. The details of posting of personnel Coy-wise, Platoon-wise and Section-wise
would be maintained at the Battalion HQ in a Posting Register in CRPF- 118 and similar details
will be maintained at Company, Platoon and Section level as applicable to them.

Man- Management

1.9 While it should be the constant endeavour of the Gazetted Officers in-
charge of sub-formations in Group
Centre/Battalion to know as many men as possible under their charge,

Platoon and Section Commanders

 152
should know all the men under their control. Senior Officers should ensure that
officers subordinate to them pay adequate attention to this important aspect of man-management.

Power of DG to revise the Duties and Responsibilities.

1.10 Duties and responsibilities of various functionaries are detailed in the succeeding Chapters.
These may, however, be revised by the Director General from time to time as and when required.

or on information received from any person other than a Police Officer or upon his own
knowledge that such offence has been committed.

Powers of Commandant Magistrate to make over case to Second-in-Command Magistrate

6.7.1 The Commandant Magistrate has no power, after taking cognizance of an offence, to make
over the case for enquiry or trial to the Second-in-Command Magistrate under Section 192 of the
Code. The Central Government through Notification referred to in para 6.2 have vested in him
the powers of a Chief Judicial Magistrate to make over such cases for enquiry or trial to the
Court of Second-in-Command Magistrate. This power of making over a case to the Second-in-
Command Magistrate can be exercised by the Commandant Magistrate only after taking
cognizance of the offence and before or after issue of Summons or Warrant to the accused. Form
of the order is given in Appendix-VIII.

Cognizance on Complaint

6.8.1 The Court of Commandant/ Second-in-Command Magistrate by virtue of provisions

contained in Section 200 of the Code, can entertain complaint made to it. It may be re-iterated
that the cognizance in respect of the complaint will, however, be confined only to offences
mentioned in Sub-section 2 of section 16 of the CRPF Act 1949.

6.8.2 Since the complaint before the Commandant/Second-in-Command Magistrate is made by

an Officer of the Force in his capacity as a public servant, examination of the complainant and
witnesses before issue of Summons or Warrant on such complaint against the accused is not
necessary.

6.8.3 Generally Commandant/ Second-in-Command Magistrate must examine the complaint in

the first instance and must satisfy himself whether it lies within his competence to take
cognizance of the offence alleged to have been committed by a Member of the Force. After so
satisfying himself, the Commandant/ Second-in-Command Magistrate may take cognizance of
the offence.

6.8.4 Commandant/ Second-in-Command Magistrate after so taking cognizance of a complaint

of an offence or on such complaint being made over to him under Section 192 of the code, may,
if he thinks fit, postpone the issue of Summons or Warrant against the accused and either enquire
into the case himself or direct an investigation by an Officer of the Force for the purpose of
satisfying himself whether or not there is sufficient ground for proceeding, provided that no such
direction for investigation shall be made where it appears to him that the offence complained of
is triable exclusively by the Court of Sessions. While ordering investigation by an officer of the
Force, Rule 25 of the CRPF Rules, 1955 should be kept in view.

6.8.5 Whenever the Commandant/ Second-in-Command Magistrate passes an order for

investigation by an Officer of the Force, such Officer shall have, for the purpose of that
investigation, all the powers conferred by the Code on an Officer-in-charge of a Police Station
except the powers to arrest the accused without Warrant.
 237
6.8.6 On receipt of the report of investigation if any, such Magistrate, if he is satisfied about
the prima-facie truth of allegations, may issue a Summons or Warrant against the accused under
Section 204 of the Code. He may if he is not so satisfied, dismiss the complaint. A copy of the
complaint shall accompany such Summons or Warrant. It must also be ensured that the list of
witnesses is filed by the complainant before the issue of such Summons or Warrant.

Copies of documents required to be furnished to the Accused.

6.9 Copies of documents as are mentioned in Section 207 of the Code are required to be
furnished to the Accused after Proceedings against him has been instituted on a Police Report. In
cases instituted otherwise than on Police Report, if it appears to the Commandant/ Second-in-
Command Magistrate issuing process under Section 204 of the Code, that the offence (including
an offence under Section 9 of the Central Reserve Police Force Act,. 1949) is triable exclusively
by the Court of Sessions, he shall without delay furnish to the Accused, free of cost, copies of the
documents as specified in Section 208 of the Code.

Power of Commandant to act under Rule 36 E to 36 J of the Central Reserve Police Force
Rules, 1955.

6.10 When a Member of the Force has been sent up for Trial by the local police through a
Charge Sheet before the ordinary Criminal Court or where a complaint has been filed by one
Member of the Force against another Member in respect of an offence falling within the purview
of sub-Section 2 of Section 16 of the Act, the Commandant in his capacity as “Prescribed
Authority” should always be very particular to act in accordance with the provisions contained in
Rule 36 E to J of CRPF Rules, 1955. Non-compliance with these Rules by the Commandant may
enable the Member of the Force to challenge his Trail before an ordinary Criminal Court.

6.11 Government of India Ministry of Home Affairs vide their Notification No. GSR-544 (File
No. J.113/74-Adm) dated 27-3-76 published in the Gazette of India Part-II, Section 3 Sub
Section (i) on page 1038 on 17-4-76) have amended the CRPF Rules, 1955 and omitted Rule 36
D from the sub-rules. As such no Member of the Force shall be given an option to state whether
he shall like to be tried by the Commandant/ Second-in-Command Magistrate or by an ordinary
Criminal Court. All offences committed by a Member of the Force under the Act or against the
person or property of another Member of the Force shall be tried by the Commandant / Second-
in-Command Magistrate except offences which are exclusively triable by the Court of Sessions.

Forms for Issue of Processes and Order.

6.12 Form No.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11, 29,31, 32, 33, 34, 36 ,37,38 ,39,44 and 45 given in Second
Schedule to Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, should be adopted as far as practicable.

Time Limit

6.13 While conducting Judicial Trials, the provision contained in the CrPC 1973 as well as the
provision of Section 17(3) of the CRPF Act, 1949 are to be kept in view. Section 17(3) of the
CRPF Act, 1949 provides that all legal proceedings should be initiated which may be lawfully
brought against any Member of the Force for anything done or intended to be done under the
powers conferred by or in pursuance of any provisions of this Act or Rules there under, shall be
commenced within 3 months after the act complained of was committed and not otherwise. This
naturally follows that action of all acts/omissions which necessitate the intitiation of legal
 238
proceedings against the Member of Force, under the provisions of the CRPF Act, 1949,
have to be commenced within a period of 3 months and not later. The words “anything done or
intended to be done under the powers conferred by or in pursuance of any provisions of this Act”
seems to include offences provided in the Act. In other words these offences arise out of non-
compliance with the requirement of corresponding duties, as a Member of the Force. All Officers
invested with Judicial powers may keep these provisions in mind at the commencement of
Judicial Trials against a Member of the Force for the offences provided under CRPF Act, 1949.
The Judicial Trial must be commenced within the period of 3 months of the date of offence to
avoid legal complication.

Judicial Trial of ASIs

6.14 The Ministry of Law & Justice (Department of Legal Affairs) vide their Dy. No. 551/97
dated 27.2.97 on a reference from CRPF Dte. General have clarified that till such time the rank
of ASI(M) is specifically incorporated in the CRPF Act and Rules, the provisions relating to
Judicial Trial could be made applicable to ASI(M) on the strength of the following executive
instructions which are meant for supplementing the fact that the rank of ASI(M) does not find
place in the CRPF Act and Rules :-
i) MHA’s Memo No. O.IV-57/71-Adm.3-FP-IV dated 28/02/1981
regarding combatisation of all civilian posts of Ministerial Staff (non-
gazetted) by conversion and abolition of the said posts has clearly stated
that CRPF Act and Rules would govern Asstt. Sub. Inspectors for all
purposes.

ii) Provisions relating to award of minor punishments to the ASI(M) have

been made applicable vide CRPF Circular Order No. 16 of 1989.
In view of the clarification given by Ministry of Law and Justice and pending amendment of the
CRPF Act, henceforth the person holding the rank of ASI including ASI(M) and ASI(Para-
medical functionary) can be judicially tried under the CRPF Act.

Procedures for Reckoning of Period of Imprisonment.

6.15 Where an accused person has, on conviction been sentenced to imprisonment for a term,
whether in a case triable as a Summons case or a Warrant case, the period of detention, if any,
undergone by him during the investigation, enquiry or trial of the same case and before the date
of such conviction, shall be set off against the term of imprisonment imposed on him on such
conviction and the liability of such person to undergo imprisonment on such conviction shall be
restricted to the remainder, if any, of the term of imprisonment imposed on him as provided in
Section 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

Legal protection available to the Member of the Central Reserve Police Force.

6.16 The legal protection which are available to the Members of the Force for the legal and
lawful action taken by CRPF in the course of official duties are given as Appendix-IX.

Preliminary Enquiry.

6.17.1 While there should be no tendency to divert cases covered by the penal Sections 9 and 10
of the CRPF Act to Departmental action under Section 11 of the Act, it would be desirable to
screen the default in an Orderly Room or through a Preliminary Enquiry as considered desirable
 239
before Departmental Proceedings are drawn up. If a Preliminary Enquiry is held, the
report, if any, should be kept as Preliminary papers before the Charge as part of the Proceedings
and not detached.

6.17.2 Detailed guidelines for conducting a Preliminary Enquiry properly are available in
Standing Order No. 20/2001.

Departmental Enquiry.

6.18.1 The instructions and procedures for conducting Departmental Enquiry are laid down in
CRPF Rule 27(b) to (d). Guiding principles to be followed in Departmental Enquiries are given
as Appendices - X and XI. Any further clarification issued subsequently are to be treated as
supplementary.

6.18.2 Detailed guidelines for conducting a Departmental Enquiry properly are available in
Stading Order No. 20/2011.

Orderly Room.

6.19.1 Unit Orderly Room will be held once a week or as required except on Thursdays, at the
time to be notified in Force Order.
6.19.2 When any person is brought before the Commandant, the DC(Adjutant), his Coy comdr (
Coy Comdr HQrs in Group Centre), the Subedar Major and Platoon Commander concerned will
be present. He will be marched in by Bn / Group Centre Havildar Major. When on a charge, he
will be under Escort.

6.19.3 Company Orderly Rooms will be held by the Competent Officer on Battalion Orderly
Room day. The Competent Officer will after hearing the case, award to the offender any
punishment within his competence as per Section 11(3) of the CRPF Act. The Punishment
awarded will be entered in the Draft Force Order for publication. If, in the opinion of the
Competent Officer, the offence merits a more severe punishment, exceeding his competence or
in which for any special reasons he deems it necessary, the Competent Officer will arrange to
produce the offender and necessary witness through the agency of DC(Adjutant) at the
Commandant’s next Orderly Room for the Commandant’s disposal. The final punishment
awarded will be published in the Force Order.

Orderly Room Register.

6.20 The Orderly Room Register will be maintained in Form No. CRPF-8, wherein all the
columns of the Register will be written personally by the Officer conducting the Orderly Room.

Penal Recoveries.

6.21 While ordering penal recoveries under Section 13(c) of the CRPF Act though based on
recommendations of a Court of Inquiry, opportunity should be given to the affected defaulter to
make any representation, as he may wish to against the proposed recovery. Final orders for
recovery will be passed after giving him such an opportunity.

Suspension.
 240
6.22 The Authority empowered to order the suspension of the Members of the Force and
the responsibilities of a Member of the Force while under suspension are detailed in Rule 27 (A)
and (B) of CRPF Rules, 1955.

Appeals and Revisions.

6.23 Appeals and Revisions would be regulated as per the provisions contained in Rules 28 and
29 of CRPF Rules, 1955.

Desertions

6.24 As a general rule if a Member of the Force deserts the Force within the meaning of Section
9(f) and 10(p) of the CRPF Act, a Complaint should at once be submitted by the Company
Officer or any other Officer superior in rank to that of deserter to the
Commandant in his capacity as Judicial Magistrate 1st Class or if the alleged offence is under
Section 10(p) to the Second-in-Command in his Capacity of Judicial Magistrate 1 st Class as per
procedure indicated in Para 6.6. The Complaint should be in writing and should invariably
contain the list of witnesses. Thereupon the Commandant or Second-in-Command Magistrate 1st
Class will take cognizance. If the alleged offence is punishable U/S 9(f) of the CRPF Act the
Commandant in his capacity as Magistrate 1st Class shall immediately issue Warrant of Arrest
enclosing therewith the copy of complaint submitted to him for cognizance. In offences
punishable U/S 10(p), normally, Summons or Warrant for the appearance of the Accused are
issued. However, in cases of Desertion there are generally reasons to believe that the Accused
has absconded or that he will not obey the Summons. In such cases a Warrant in lieu of
Summons can be issued U/S 87 CrPC after recording reasons in writing for adopting this course.
It is purely a judicial matter and it is left to the discretion of the Commandant Magistrate and
Second-in-Command Magistrate to exercise their discretion according to the exigency of each
case. In every case where Summons or Warrant is issued the copy of the Complaint must
accompany.

Particulars to be communicated of deserted personnel

6.25 According to MHA Office Memorandum No. 3/14/51/NSG(III) dated 31.1.1952 and No.
F.3/I/65.Ests(B) dated 14.5.1965 [Published in the CRPF Gazettee No.5(A) dated 27.5.1965]
should be forwarded to the Director, IB, Deputy Inspector General, CID of the State concerned
and Superintendent of Police of the District to which the person concerned is a permanent
resident. No intimation about such cases need be sent to Battalions, Group Centres and Training
Institutions. However, it will be appropriate if a copy is endorsed to the Police Station under
whose jurisdiction the permanent residence of the individual falls. In short such intimation
should be sent to the following :-

i) Director, IB

ii) DIG, CID of the State concerned.

iii) Superintendent of Police of the District to which the person concerned is a
permanent resident.

iv) Police Station under which the permanent residence of the individual falls.
 241

Disposal of personal belongings of Deserters

6.26.1 While undergoing Basic Training, the Recruits desert from the Lines/Camp at their own
will, leaving behind their personal belongings etc. Their items of personal belonging shall be
disposed off as under :-
i) The personal belongings of Recruits who desert from the Lines/Camp should be
listed out by a Board of Officers and kept in the custody of Training Institutions
for 3 months.

ii) If claimed within 3 months from the date of desertion, the same may be
delivered to the claimant after verification.

iii) If it remains unclaimed beyond 3 months, a Notice shall be sent to the NOK of
the Deserter Recruit to collect the personal belongings within 60 days from the
date of receipt of the Notice.

iv) If the personal belongings still remain unclaimed these should be disposed off
by Public Auction and Sale Proceeds deposited in Govt. Treasury. Besides
maintaining a proper record of Auction Proceedings, necessary entry should also
be made in the appropriate column of Desertion Register.
6.26.2 The above procedure may also be adopted while disposing of the personal belongings of
Deserter Constables and Other Ranks.

Procedure to be followed in respect of missing personnel.

6.27 In cases of missing personnel, all out efforts should be made to trace out the missing
personnel and all such efforts must be put on record. Apart from above, an FIR must be lodged
besides, conducting of Preliminary Enquiry, Court of Inquiry and Ex-parte Departmental
Enquiry.

Cases U/S 10(m) of the CRPF Act 1949.

6.28 Cases falling under Section 10(m) of CRPF Act stand on a different footing. Absence
without leave or permission beyond 24 hours may come within the mischief of Section 9(f) or
10(p) of CRPF Act and the same may be dealt with according to para 6.24 above.

Short absence without Leave Or Permission.

6.29 Short absence without leave or permission may normally be dealt with departmentally or in
Orderly Room but it is left to the discretion of the Commandant to decide whether the lapse is so
serious or grave that it requires Judicial Trial of the Delinquent for an offence under Section
10(m) of CRPF Act. If the lapse is not serious/grave or the Delinquent is able to convince the
Commandant or Second-in-Command that his absence was not entirely wilful or that it was due
to causes beyond his control, no Judicial Trial will be justified and it is left to the discretion of
the Commandant and other Officers to deal with same suitably either in OR or by DE and if the
case calls for no action, the Delinquent may also be let off after warning. Where a Summons or a
Warrant has already been issued by Commandant / Second-in-Command Magistrate and it is
decided that the case against the defaulter be dropped, the proper course is that the complaint
filed by an Officer be withdrawn and the same may be permitted to be withdrawn by the
 242
Magistrate.
Overstayal of Leave.

6.30 In case of overstayal of leave, action should be taken after 30 days. If during this period
neither the Delinquent returns nor is any communication for extension of leave received,
complaint should be filed and action as provided in Para 6.28 above should be taken. If a
communication for extension of leave is received but it is not sanctioned, it is desirable to wait
for subsequent 30 days after the date of despatch of intimation to the Delinquent that his
application for extension of leave has been rejected. If he does not report within 30 days of the
despatch of the intimation about rejection of application for extension of leave, the complaint
U/S 10(m) of CRPF Act shall be filed and Summons or Warrant of Arrest as provided in Para
6.28 above may be issued.

Overstayal of Leave for Less than 30 days.

6.31 Overstayal of Leave for less than 30 days without any Leave Application and for less than
45 days in case where Leave Application was received but was rejected, does not absolve the
Delinquent from his liability to be prosecuted judicially U/S 10(m) of CRPF Act or to be dealt
with Departmentally. If the Delinquent is able to convince that overstayal was not entirely wilful
or it was due to causes beyond his control, no Judicial Trial may be necessary and the Delinquent
may be dealt with as indicated in Para 6.30 above.

Non-execution of Warrant of Arrest.

6.32 In cases where the Accused does not appear and Warrant of Arrest is received back
unserved due to concealment or absconding of the Accused a written Proclamation requiring the
Accused to appear at a specified place and at a specified time within not less than 30 days from
the date of publishing should be issued U/S 82 of CrPC. After issue of Proclamation, the Court
may, at any time if the Accused does not appear, order for the attachment of movable or
immovable property of the Accused U/S 83 CrPC. The property so attached will be disposed off
according to Sections 84 and 85 of CrPC.

Action by other CRPF Units.

6.33 If an Accused after arrest by civil authorities in execution of Warrant is handed over or of
his own reports to CRPF Unit other than his own he will immediately be escorted to his Unit.

Withdrawal of Case.

6.34 If under any circumstances withdrawal of the case becomes desirable, the Officer who filed
the Complaint can withdraw the same under Section 257 of CrPC.. If the offence is triable as
Warrant Case or is triable by Court of Session such withdrawal will be possible under Section
321 of CrPC. by the prosecutor appointed by the Central Govt. or with the sanction of the
Central Govt. by the prosecutor appointed by State.

Absence of Complainant.

6.35 Under Section 249 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, in any Warrant Case when the
Proceedings have been instituted upon Complaint and on any day fixed for the hearing of the
case, the complainant is absent, the offence may be lawfully compounded or is not a cognizable
 243
offence the Commandant / Second-in- Command Magistrate may in his discretion at
any time before the Charge has been framed discharge the accused.

Similar provision exists in Section 256 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, which lays
down that in the trial of a Summons Case if the Summons has been issued on Complaint and on
the day appointed for the appearance of the Accused, or any day subsequent thereto which the
hearing may be adjourned, the Complainant does not appear, the Magistrate shall acquit the
Accused unless for some reasons he thinks it proper to adjourn the hearing of the Case to some
other day.

Provided that where the Complainant is represented by a Pleader or by the Officer conducting
the Prosecution or where the Magistrate is of the opinion that the personal attendance of the
Complainant is not necessary, the Magistrate may dispense with his attendance and proceed with
the Case.

Departmental action in cases of unauthorized absence exceeding 60 days.

6.36 In such cases the Commandant shall take immediate action for assembling a Court of
Inquiry and take further action as provided in CRPF Rules 31 irrespective of the legal or other
action being taken against the absentee as provided herein. The COI should be completed within
3 days of the date of commencement of the COI. The Commandant should then immediately
publish, in the Force Orders, the Findings of the Court of Inquiry and the absentee shall be
declared a “Deserter”, from the Force, from the date of his illegal absence. The name of the
Deserter, shall be borne on the strength of the Unit concerned, till he is dismissed/removed from
the Force, in accordance with the Rules. If the Accused person is not traceable, it is not possible
to proceed against him in the Judicial Trial. Therefore, an Ex-parte Departmental Enquiry should
be held against him, after giving him due Notice by Registered A.D. letter, on the last known
address in official record or by publishing in the leading/ local News Papers at every material
stage of the Departmental Enquiry and the Final Order of Dismissal/Removal etc. may then be
passed in absentia and duly communicated to said person by

Registered Post A.D or by publishing in local/leading News Papers. If the Deserter is

dismissed/removed he will be struck off the strength at the Force and the case will be treated as
finally settled. In case the Accused appears any time after he is declared a Deserter, requisite
action against him can be taken in a Judicial Trial according to Law and on the charge of
unauthorized absence/ desertion. A person who remains absent unauthorizedly is not ipso facto
entitled to any pay and allowances for the period of absence vide Section 13 of the CRPF Act.
Besides he could also be fined to the extent of one month pay besides awarding him any other
major/minor punishment vide Section 11 of the CRPF Act. Both these may be kept in view.

Rewards.

6.37 The principles for grant of Rewards to Force personnel are contained in CRPF Rule 53-A.

Standard for Grant of Monetary Rewards and Commendation Entries.

6.38 The financial competence of various officers to sanction Rewards is laid down in Appendix-

Incentive Scheme for Accident Free Driving.

6.40 While special efforts should continue to be made by all concerned for proper maintenance
and running
efficiency of the Force motor vehicle fleet to reduce vehicle accidents according to various
existing instructions on the subject, it is necessary to grant Cash Rewards to the drivers of the
CRPF motor vehicles as an incentive for accident free driving and good maintenance of

vehicle. Director General may issue necessary instruction in this regard from time to time
through Standing Orders.

6.41 Rs. 1000/- would be awarded to a driver every time on completion of an accident free
driving of vehicles of 10,000/- KMs in hilly areas and 15,000/- KMs in plain areas. In case,
where a driver drives in both the areas, reward should be granted after calculating the distance in
proportionate manner. For this purpose a running record of KMs covered would be maintained in
the Unit in respect of each driver and generally the continuous charge of a vehicle shall be given
to one driver only without interruptions off and on.

Manual lays down in detail the procedure to be followed for mounting, relieving, posting,
dismissing, turning out and inspecting a guard. It also explains the types of guards, distinction
between each type and the duties that may be assigned to these guards. In addition, this Chapter
lays down the personages to whom and the occasions on which the guards are to pay
compliments. Inspite of these instructions, it has been noticed that there are variations in the
procedure followed by Ceremonial Guards of various Units and Group Centers while turning out
for inspection. In order to ensure uniformity of procedure in this respect, instructions as outlined
in the succeeding paragraphs should be followed by all concerned.

Inspecting Officer or Personage ‘actually’ approaching the Quarter Guard or if so ordered by an
Officer/SO duly authorized to turn out a Quarter Guard, the Sentry will come to attention and
shout “GUARD TURN OUT”)( Guard Line Bana).

(b) The correct procedure for a guard to turn out is that it turns out only when the Sentry on duty
sees an Inspecting Officer ‘actually’ approaching the Quarter Guard. The emphasis is on the
words “actually approaching”. On other occasions when a Visiting Officer or personage
otherwise entitled to compliments by the guard happens to just pass through in front of a Quarter
Guard in a vehicle, on foot or otherwise, the procedure to be adopted during parade hours is that
the Guard Commander will bring the whole Guard to the SAVDHAN position. On receipt of this
word of command the sentry on duty will pay such compliments as the Officer/ personage
concerned is entitled to and the remaining personnel of the Guard will adopt the SAVDHAN
position at the place where they are standing at ease.

compliments as the officer/personage passing by is entitled to and the remaining personnel will
not be disturbed.

will give the appropriate salute on orders from the Guard Commander. For those who are entitled
to bugle, the bugler will sound the appropriate salute.

(g) When the Inspecting Officer is so entitled the word of Command “PRESENT ARMS’
(Salami Shastra) will be given after the Guard has fallen in, followed by the Command ORDER
ARMS (Bhaju Shastra) before the Guard reports to the Inspecting Officer.

(h) When the Inspecting Officer/ Personage is taking the salute, all others who may be
accompanying him will stand in attention behind him.

(i) After the Guard has been brought to ORDER ARMS (Bhaju Shastra) the Guard Commander
will report ‘GUARD IS READY FOR INSPECTION’ (Nirikshan ke lie guard hazir hai) to the
Inspecting Officer.
 256
(j) After receiving the report from the Guard
Commander the Inspecting Officer will go forward to inspect the Guard. The Guard Commander
will now take a step forward, turn to left and accompany the Inspecting Officer. All other
personnel of the party other than the Inspecting Officer will remain at attention till the Inspection
has been completed and the Guard Commander assumed his original position. Having received
instruction to ‘TURN IN THE GUARD’ (Guard Line Tor) the Guard Commander will give the
order SENTRY STAND FAST REMAINDER DISMISS (Sentry Khada Rahe Baki Visarjan).
On this word of command all personnel of the Guard except the sentry will turn to their right
salute and then move off at the double to the Guard Room.

(k) Having dismissed the Guard, the Guard Commander will turn towards the Inspecting
Officer/personage and salute. He will then accompany Inspecting Officer/Personage on an
inspection of the Guard Room if necessary.

CHAPTER – IX

MISCELLANEOUS
Anniversary Celebrations

9.1.1 Though the Crown Representative’s Police was raised on 27.7.1939, the Central Reserve
Police Force in its present form came into existence after the Independence. Due to
farsightedness of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, the then Deputy Prime Minister and the Home
Minister, the Crown Representative’s Police was renamed as Central Reserve Police Force under
the MHA, Government of India. Sardar Patel known popularly as the Iron Man of India was born
 263
on October 31, 1875 at Nadiad, Gujarat. Since he was the man responsible for the
continuance of the Force in Independent India, the birth day of the founder was adopted as the
day for celebrating the Anniversary of the Central Reserve Police Force and all the Anniversary
functions coincided with this date till 31st October 1984- the day of assassination of the then
Prime Minister, Smt. Indira Gandhi. Due to this tragic coincidence of events, 28th December was
later fixed as the Anniversary day of CRPF in view of rechristening of Crown Representative’s
Police to Central Reserve Police Force by an enactment of CRPF Act on Dec 28, 1949 by the
Parliament. Now the Anniversary Day is being celebrated on a day around 31 st Oct. every year.

9.1.2 The CRPF Anniversary every year should not only be observed centrally, but at the Head
Quarters of all CRPF establishments, like Group Centre, Training Institutions, Battalions and
Detachments. Though it may not be feasible to hold parade, athletic meet etc. at several such
places it should be possible for the senior most officer/ DIGP/ Commandant/ Detachment

(c) One at each rear flank of the Stop Butt and about 2000 yards from it. These
places and other necessary spots should be marked by heaps of stones.

iii) The duty of flag sentries is to warn all people that firing is taking place and
that they should not enter the firing area. All flag sentries will carry whistles.
Range Discipline

9.3.1 The Senior Officer in the Range is responsible to ensure that following orders are complied
with before practices are fired:-
(a) He must first satisfy himself that the vicinity of Range, especially the area
behind Butts is clear of persons and animals.

(b) That the signalling of hits, marking and all safety precautions as laid down in
Small Arms Training Volume IV are understood by all ranks in the Butts.
9.3.2 The following bugle calls and flag signals are authorized and will be learnt by all :
(a) Commence Fire Bugle call ‘Continue’. Red Flags in the Firing Point and Butt

 264
(b) Cease Firing bugle call ‘ Stand Fast’. Red Flags in the Firing Point and
Butts are raised.

9.3.3 The Officer supervising Range Practices is responsible that all lead pieces are collected
from the Firing Butt at the end of the day’s firing.

Classification Firing

9.4.1 One Gazetted Officer will be present throughout in the Firing Point and one in the Butt if
available.

9.4.2. The Butt markers will be from a different Company or on Detachment from different Sub-
unit and will report half an hour before firing is due to start. They will be rehearsed in the
practices to be fired.

9.4.3 One Subordinate Officer will be in-charge of not more than four targets.

9.4.4 The Gazetted Officer in the Butts will check the targets by measurement.

9.4.5 When Bull's eye targets are used, targets will be half masted and not fully lowered until the
checking officer comes upto them, but markers will stand back from the targets.

9.4.6 Figure and snap shooting targets will be exposed until the checking officer comes upto
them. They will be then lowered and checked.
9.4.7 In both cases, the checking officer will mark off each bullet hole with a red or blue pencil
before patching. He will inspect the target after patching.

9.4.8. Copies of Range Classification Practices will be available in the Firing Point and in the
Butts.

Annual Range Courses.

9.5 Range Courses for CRPF personnel for various weapons are prescribed in Standing Order
9/2011 as amended from time to time.
i) Before the personnel are taken for firing in the Range, all Commanding Officers
will ensure that they have been given thorough grounding in their weapons and
they are mentally and physically fit. Each person should be in possession of the
personal weapon allotted to him and should fire with that only.
 265
ii) The Range Course gives progressive training to a man to handle his
personal weapon both technically and tactically so as to build up his confidence in
it. Men should be trained methodically and progressively. They will fire
classification only after they have adequate training in handling of their weapons.
They must never be taken to the Range ill prepared as poor results may shake
their confidence in the weapon.

iii) After the firing, weapons should be cleaned at the Firing Range itself by each
person. The Commanding Officers will ensure that all the weapons are properly
cleaned and there is no dirt, defect etc. in the weapons before leaving the Range.
The report for the defect in weapon not rectified should be given in writing to the
Commandant within six hours of the completion of firing.

4. Range Classification Firing should be carried out once in a year.

Recruits Courses.
9.6.(i).A recruit having received the basic lessons on the rifle, should be
introduced to the weapon by allowing him to fire on the miniature range. Failures
should be given further chances so that confidence in their prowess with the
weapon is built up and established. Progressively, the recruit should fire with the
rifle and LMG on the long range first as instructional practices and then as actual
classification practices.
ii) In the case of recruits, it is necessary to keep the practice simple and easily
understood. The emphasis at this stage should be on attaining adequate
proficiency with the weapon. Hence, all practices are to be carried out under as
ideal condition as possible.
Trained Personnel Course.
9.7.(i) A recruit who qualifies in the recruit’s classification course is considered as
“trained” constable. Thereafter, he will carry out the trained personnel
classification course. Every individual should carry out a minimum of four weeks
musketry training before firing the classification course. It is essential that the
personal weapon of the individual is zeroed immediately before, firing. Wherever
practicable, the individual should fire instructional practices first. Weak men may
be allowed additional practices at the discretion of the Commanding Officer.
After the Instructional practices are fired the Annual Classification will be carried
out. These practices will be fired wherever proper range facilities upto 400 yards
are available.

ii) In view of the deployment where the personnel have to deal with an elusive
enemy in the form of armed hostiles, infiltrators, dacoits, smugglers and so on, the
age old stereotype targets would not be very helpful. Shooting on such targets is
not only boring for men but it also tends to slow down their reflexes. Hence
maximum practices will be on figure targets. Practices will consist of deliberate
firing, snap shooting and timed firing. Firing will be carried out in basic prone
position. A new practice has been introduced for trained men firing the modified
ammunition. The emphasis in the practices for trained men is on combat shooting
in field conditions, without rests.

iii) Parade, Classification firing for Members of Specialist Cadres:

All Members of the specialist cadres will normally attend parade of their
 266
respective Bns/Establishments twice a week and will be put through
Classification Firing like other executive Force Personnel.

Range Course in field Areas.

9.8 Units which because of their locations, have no proper Range facilities have to use
improvised Ranges.

Sten Gun and Pistol

9.9 Gazetted Officers, Subordinate Officers and other personnel armed with Sten Gun and Pistol
will carry out the Courses with these weapons.

Documents of Range Classification Firing.

9.10 Firing Point Register in CRPF-41 and Butt Register in IAFC-853 would be maintained for
the Range practices. The record of Range Classification Firing will be maintained in CRPF-50
and the final results would be noted in the Test and Examination Register in CRPF -117.

Failures in Range classification Firing.

9.11 The following action should be taken in cases of failures in Range classification firing by
Subordinate Officers, Under Officers and Other Ranks:-
i) A Second chance will be given to the personnel and cost of ammunition
recovered.

ii) If an individual still fails, an adverse entry should be made in the

APAR/Service Record of that year.

iii) All persons repeatedly failing in Range Classification Firing should not only
be adversely reported but also dealt in OR. If still the individual fails to qualify in
Range Classification Firing, he should be considered for weeding out/discharge
from service and for the instance his Annual Increment stopped/ deferred.
Inspections

9.12 For the Inspection to be carried out by various authorities, the detailed instructions
contained in Standing Order 4/2009 as amended from time to time should be strictly followed.

Monthly Diary.

9.13.1 Monthly Diaries of DIGP in GCs and Commandant in Bns will be submitted by them
before the 10th of the following months to Sector IGP/ Operations DIsGP. 2-I/C, Dy. Comdt and
Coy Comdrs in Bns will submit their Monthly Diaries similarly to the Commandant of the Unit.

9.13.2 Generally Monthly Diary should have the following heading for each month:-
Monthly diary of……………… for the month …………………….
However, in the Monthly Diary of Bn Commandants location of Dett HQ and Coys could find a
place in the beginning of the diary.
 267
9.13.3 Monthly Diary will have three columns on each page. The first column (About one
inch in width) should be “Date”. The second column of equal width should be titled “Camp”.
The third column with the heading “Work done, movements etc” should occupy the entire
remaining space. In the first column “Date” only the dates should be written commencing from
the beginning of each month. In the Second column “Camp”, the place where the officer passes
the night will be mentioned. If the officer, however, passes the entire night in journey, the words
“in Journey” should be written; otherwise, the place where the major portion of the night i.e.
after midnight is passed should be mentioned. In the third column for work done all the work
done on a particular date should be mentioned in brief such as parade, Orderly Room, Inspection
of Lines, Hospital, Messes attending office, supervision of evening games etc.

9.13.4 In order that it should correctly show the work and movement, it is necessary that the
officer should as far as possible write this diary daily i.e. the diary of Monday should be written
on Tuesday morning and so on.

9.13.5 When journeys are under taken, appropriate details of them with timings should be
mentioned in Column No. 3

9.13.6 No work is normally done on Sundays and Public Holidays, for these days the entry in
Column No3 should, if no work is done, only be Sunday or Public Holiday. If any work is done
it should be shown.

9.13.7 If the Officer is sick and therefore unable to attend office or to other duties, this fact
should be clearly mentioned in Column No.3

9.13.8 If the Officer takes leave, he should on the day of his departure on leave make an entry
“Proceeded on ……….days Casual Leave from before/after office hours” It is not necessary to
show the place of camp during Casual Leave in Column No.2

9.13.9 When an officer proceeds on leave other than Casual Leave he will hand over charge to
another officer. He (Officer going on leave) need not then make an entry in the diary after he
hands over charge. The diary writing should be resumed on return from leave.

9.13.10 Sometimes an officer does only routine work like “office” for
more than one day continuously and in such cases it is permissible to write a combined entry for
all these days.

9.13.11 At the end of each month, the officer should draw up a summary under headings
“Number of days spent at headquarters”, “Number of days spent in journey”, “Number of days
spent in Detachment” and “Number of days spent on leave”. This will then complete the month’s
diary.

9.13.12 Officers who countersign TA Bills should compare the journeys entered in these diaries
with the entries made in the TA Bills and satisfy themselves that there is no discrepancy between
these two.

9.13.13 It is the duty of the senior officers to whom these diaries are sent to minutely scrutinize
them. This however, certainly does not mean that petty and stereotype objections are raised on
such diaries with a statistical angle. The main purpose should be to ensure that a Bn is being
efficiently administered and that the Commandant is discharging his over all responsibilities in a
 268
satisfactory manner. Whenever, it is noticed that a Commandant is consistently negligent
towards some particular aspect of his administration and responsibility it should certainly be
brought to his notice.

Physical Efficiency and Judging the distance tests.

9.14.1 Almost all CRPF Battalions are deployed on active duty and in the interest of operational
efficiency it is essential that only persons who are tough and can stand the rigorous of hard duties
and severe climatic conditions are posted to Detachments. In order to sort out the physically
weak Members for assignment of lighter duties if the weakness is temporary and for weeding out
if, the weakness is a permanent nature, it is necessary to hold Physical Efficiency and Judging
the Distance Tests. These Tests should be held once in a year in all Bns and Group Centers by a
Board to be nominated by the Head of Office.

9.14.2 Tables showing details of the Physical Efficiency Tests for personnel upto 45 years of
age, at varying altitudes are prescribed in Appendices XII and XIII.

9.14.3 Personnel of Battalions and Group Centers above 45 years of age should be put through
comparatively lighter tests as given in Appendix-XIV.

9.14.4 Details for Judging Distance Tests are laid down in Appendix-XV.

Documents to be maintained in GC/Bn/Coy

9.15 Various Registers and Records which are to be maintained in the Group
Centre/Battalion/Company offices are shown in Appendix-XVI.
