A common characteristic of local or acting ranks in uniformed forces is that they confer the authority and responsibilities of the higher rank for a specific period or duty but do not necessarily entitle the holder to the extra pay and allowances associated with the regular substantive rank.

Local rank is temporary and functional, allowing an officer to perform duties of a higher rank. Financial benefits (pay/allowances) are usually linked to the substantive rank unless explicitly provided otherwise.

While the specifics of local rank in CISF depend on the force’s rules, the statement about lack of extra pay/allowances (C) is a widely applicable principle for temporary/local ranks in many services. Details regarding confirmation (A), rank limits (B), and delegation powers (D) would be defined in the specific CISF rules.
