Centre approves first-ever cadre review of BSF's Group B & C employees

In a significant development, the Centre has approved the first-ever cadre review of Border Security Force (BSF) Group B and C employees, spanning from constable to inspector level ranks and its implementation has already been initiated.

The much-awaited decision is seen as a recognition of the force’s expanding role in national security, especially following its critical performance during Operation Sindoor.

According to official sources, the implementation will cover a total immediate promotions slate of 23,710 personnel. Resultantly, 8,116 promotion orders in different ranks have already been issued with effect from August 13.

The review is expected to improve promotion avenues from constable to inspector that will provide significant respite to them from existing stagnation, thus enhancing overall morale and professional development of force personnel, sources informed further.

BSF personnel's role in Operation Sindoor was praised by the Prime Minister and Home Minister as well as by top commanders of the armed forces.
