Overview
- More than 88,000 non-gazetted Delhi Police personnel will receive an honorary rank one level higher on the day of superannuation.
- The upgrade applies to ranks from constable to sub-inspector, with elevations to head constable, assistant sub-inspector, sub-inspector, and inspector respectively.
- The conferment is purely symbolic at retirement and does not affect pay, pension, or other monetary entitlements.
- Eligibility requires at least two years in the current rank, good APAR gradings for the past five years, and no major punishment during service.
- The move aligns with the Ministry of Home Affairs’ May decision for CAPFs and Assam Rifles, with implementation beginning for the ongoing retirement cycle.
