As per the administrative and financial procedures for CISF deployment, undertakings requesting CISF security are required to deposit an amount equal to three months’ estimated monthly billing of CISF charges as an advance payment at the time of induction. This advance is adjusted against future bills. This is a standard administrative requirement to ensure timely payment for the services rendered by the force.
– CISF is a cost-reimbursable force for public sector undertakings and private entities.
– The charges cover the salary and allowances of the deployed personnel, administrative overheads, and other related costs.
– An initial advance payment is required upon deployment to cover initial expenses and serve as a security deposit.
– The standard required advance is typically three months’ billing.
The terms and conditions for CISF deployment, including the billing cycle and advance payment requirements, are governed by specific rules and agreements between the Ministry of Home Affairs (under which CISF functions) and the concerned undertaking.
