## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a): The recruitment in the IPS during last three years through CSE-2011 to  2013  &  the  current  year  through  CSE-2014,  has  been  done  on  the basis of cadre-wise vacancy as given at Annexure-I & II.

## LS.US.Q.NO.1468 FOR 03.05.2016

(b):  State-wise  vacancy  position  in  the  Indian  Police  Service  as  on 01.01.2016 is attached at ANNEXURE-III.

(c) to (g): To fill up the vacancies of IPS officers, the batch-size of IPS (direct recruit) has been increased from 88 to 103 from CSE, 2005, to 130 from CSE, 2008 and to 150 from CSE, 2009. Besides the above, the process of appointments to the Indian Police Service by promotion from State Police Service has been accelerated.

Following numbers of State Police Service officers were inducted into Indian Police Service during the last three years: -

| Year                   |   Number of Officers |
|------------------------|----------------------|
| 2013                   |                  213 |
| 2014                   |                   90 |
| 2015                   |                   92 |
| 2016 (upto 31.03.2016) |                   31 |
| Total                  |                  426 |

While finalizing the Cadre strength of IPS, all the posts are divided among Regular Recruit and promotion from State Police Service (SPS) posts. There is no proposal to alter the current ratio of Regular Recruit and promotion posts in the Indian Police Service (IPS).
