Overview
- Personnel posted to the Parliament House Complex will now serve four-year tenures with a possible one-year extension, with a fixed proportion rotated annually to balance continuity and fresh deployment.
- New eligibility rules require a clean service record, SHAPE-I medical category, no disciplinary or vigilance issues, at least two specialised courses, and rank-specific age limits.
- Deployment now mandates multi-stage screening that includes psychological assessment, the Battle Physical Efficiency Test, Parliament-specific induction training, and comprehensive security clearance, with annual re-tests and monthly BPET for Quick Response Teams.
- Roughly 3,300 CISF personnel, including over 200 fire and disaster specialists, operate layered security with airport-style frisking, X-ray baggage checks, and multi-level access verification across the complex.
- Operational readiness has been expanded through NSG- and Army-led modules and scenario-based drills for CBRN, drone threats, cyberattacks, terror strikes, and bomb threats, including 12 multi-agency exercises this year.
