While the CISF (Members of Force) Rules, 2001 generally exempt “purely” religious organizations from the requirement of previous sanction for membership (Rule 18(1)), Rule 18(3) states that the Central Government’s decision is final on whether an organization is “purely” religious. This implies that for religious organizations deemed *not* purely religious (e.g., having political or activist affiliations), previous sanction would be required. Therefore, it is correct that for *some* religious organizations (those not deemed purely religious), sanction is needed.

CISF members face restrictions on joining certain associations, including potentially religious ones not deemed “purely” religious by the government.

Options A, C, and D describe activities that are clearly restricted or prohibited for members of uniformed forces as per the CISF Rules: continued membership in political associations (Rule 18(2)), publishing a book without sanction (Rule 19), and attending political demonstrations (Rule 18(1)). This makes B the most plausible correct statement, based on the potential requirement for sanction for certain types of religious organizations as determined by the government.
