Both statements are generally correct regarding the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and other Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs).
– Statement 1 is correct: Supervisory officers (Inspectors and above) in CISF and other CAPFs are typically governed by the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965 for disciplinary matters, as they hold civil posts under the Union.
– Statement 2 is correct: While the leave rules for enrolled members (ranks below Inspector) of CAPFs like CISF are based on or draw from Central Government leave rules (like CCS (Leave) Rules), they have specific force rules that modify or supplement these general rules, taking into account the unique operational requirements and structure of the force. Thus, the Central Government rules are not *fully* or directly applicable without modifications or specific force rules.
CAPFs have a dual structure for personnel rules. Officers often fall under rules similar to other central government employees (CCS rules), while jawans and non-gazetted officers have force-specific rules derived from or supplementing general civil service rules, often contained in their respective force Acts and Rules.
