1. The Director General of the CISF can confer local rank up to the rank of Commandant only: Rule 23(1) states that the Director-General may confer any local rank *not higher than that of an Inspector*. This statement is incorrect.
2. The Director General of the CISF cannot delegate the power of conferring local ranks: Rule 23(2) states that the Director-General *may* delegate his power to any other officer not below the rank of Deputy Inspector-General, with the previous approval of the Central Government. This statement is incorrect.
3. The officer who has been granted a local rank shall not be entitled to any extra pay and allowances: Rule 23(3) explicitly states that a member of the Force on whom a local rank is conferred “shall not be entitled to any extra pay or allowance in consequence of his holding such rank.” This statement is correct.
Therefore, only statement 3 is correct.
