Home Ministry sanctions honorary rank to retiring CAPF personnel
The insignia would entail no additional pensionary benefits, the MHA said in an order.
The honorary senior rank would be accorded to constables, head constables, assistant sub-inspectors and sub-inspectors on the day of their retirement.
'To boost the morale, pride and confidence of the CAPF personnel who have had a long tenure, it has been decided to accord the next senior honorary rank to officials on the day of the retirement. This will entail no additional financial or pensionary benefits,' the order issued with the concurrence of Home Minister Amit Shah said.
To get the honorary rank, the personnel should have had a clean service record and should have received no punishment in the past five years, the MHA said. It added that Vigilance clearance was mandatory to get the rank.
Former Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director-General Anish Dayal Singh, on the day of his retirement on December 31, 2024, said the personnel who benefit from the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) but have not been granted promotion in rank due to organisational constraints, may use the insignia of the next senior rank on their uniforms before they retire.
All CAPF personnel are entitled to at least three promotions during their service. In absence of real promotion, MACP ensures financial benefits of the next senior rank on completion of 10, 20 and 30 years of service.

Shah in city to chair eastern zonal council meet today
Ranchi: As Jharkhand is set to host the crucial eastern zonal meeting in Ranchi on Thursday, chaired by Union home minister Amit Shah , the ruling dispensation here is pinning high hopes on getting special fiscal assistance from the Centre. Two years ago, when Odisha hosted a similar meeting, the Centre approved several crucial schemes and proposals to bolster development works there. By Wednesday evening, representatives from participating states began to arrive in Ranchi. Around 7:30 pm, Bihar's deputy CM Samrat Choudhary, accompanied by Vijay Kumar Chudhary (water resources minister), landed in the state capital along with a bevy of their officials. Representatives from Odisha and Chhattisgarh were also slated to arrive by late night, with some expected early in the morning. Shah also reached the city on Wednesday night. Chief minister Hemant Soren, who is in Delhi for the last few weeks attending to his ailing father and Rajya Sabha MP Shibu Soren, is likely to attend Thursday's meeting, slated to start at 10:30 am at a city hotel near Overbridge. Speaking to reporters outside the airport, Bihar deputy CM said, "The meeting is crucial for all eastern states, including Bihar. From our point of view, we will take up issues of water sharing with bordering states and the division of assets with Jharkhand, many of which are still to be resolved after the bifurcation of Bihar in 2000, among others." Jharkhand, however, is expecting that their long-pending demand of Rs 1.36 lakh crore in lieu of mining-related activities to the states will get due consideration. Congress's leader and Khijri MLA Rajesh Kachchap said, "It's a proud moment for Jharkhand to host such a crucial meeting, and we are hopeful that the home minister will ensure that our dues, which are pending with the Centre, are given to us. We are also asking for special fiscal assistance and our pending funds in different coffers, which the finance minister and our alliance govt have already raised at several platforms. " He also raised the Sarna code issue. "It is among the key demands of Jharkhand, for which the Hemant Soren govt even passed a resolution from the state assembly and sent it to the Centre and President of India," he said. JMM, which is leading the alliance govt here, also hoped that the meeting will be fruitful for Jharkhand. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, JMM's central general secretary Supriyo Bhattacharjee reiterated the demand for special fiscal assistance and increasing central shares to the state. "When Odisha hosted a similar meeting two years ago, it ended up receiving special focus from the GOI to bolster development. While we welcome that, we hope Jharkhand too will get equal treatment from the meeting chaired by the Union Home Minister tomorrow," he said. Meanwhile, the district administration is on high alert to ensure proper law and order both in Ranchi and elsewhere in the state. In the evening, Ranchi IG Manoj Kaushik took stock of the security preparedness at various key places, including the airport. Traffic police have already announced vehicular curbs at different places, from the airport to the meeting venue.

New Delhi [India], July 9 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday revealed a glimpse into his post-retirement life, saying that he will dedicate the rest of his life after politics to Vedas, Upanishads and natural farming. Shah made these remarks at the 'Sahkar Samvaad,' held in Delhi with women from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and other workers associated with the cooperative sector. 'In front of us, there is a lot of work to be done on fertilisers. The cooperative sector should think about it. I have decided that whenever I retire, I will dedicate the rest of my life to Vedas, Upanishads, and natural farming,' Shah said. Highlighting the importance of natural farming, he added, 'This natural farming has such a good scientific use that it gives so many benefits.' Further, the office of Amit Shah highlighted how the cooperative sector has helped many farmers sell their products in the market. He gave an example of how some farmers are selling camel milk, which he said has medicinal properties. 'Miral Ben Rabari from Gujarat told Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri @AmitShah ji how farmers selling camel milk are profiting through cooperatives and how people are benefiting from the medicinal properties of camel milk,' it said in a post on X.

Shah stated that the convergence of the fourth anniversary of the Ministry of Cooperation, the 60th anniversary of the National Dairy Development Board, and the 150th birth anniversary year of Sardar Patel has led to numerous initiatives in Anand through this cooperative conference. The Ministry of Cooperation has been working over the past four years on the foundation of the five Ps - People (service-oriented), PACS (strengthening Primary Agricultural Credit Societies), Platform (digital platform), Policy (new policies), and Prosperity (societal prosperity).
