Members of uniformed forces like the CISF are governed by their specific Acts and Rules (CISF Act, 1968, and CISF Rules, 2001), which cover aspects like service conditions, discipline, pay, and allowances. General labour laws like the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, are typically not applicable to the members of such forces. This is because their service conditions are distinct and regulated by special legislation tailored to the needs of disciplined forces.

– CISF members are governed by the CISF Act and Rules.
– General labour laws, such as the Payment of Wages Act, usually do not apply to uniformed forces.

Acts like the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, are criminal or social laws of general applicability and generally apply to members of uniformed forces, just as they apply to other citizens, unless specific exemptions are provided within those Acts or the force’s governing Act (which is not the case for these Acts concerning CISF members’ basic liability). The CISF Act provides for disciplinary actions in addition to, or instead of, prosecution under general law in some cases, but it does not exempt members from these Acts entirely.
