RE: Revised Estimates; BE: Budget Estimates 

Police:  For 2018-19, Rs 87,887 crore has been 
allocated toward police.  Budget estimates for police 
has increased by 6.8% from revised estimates for 
2017-18, which was Rs 82,293 crore.  

Under the Constitution, police and public order are 
state subjects.  However, the central government 
supplements the efforts of the states to fight 
extremism.2  The centre is responsible for the seven 
central armed police forces and the Delhi police.  In 
addition, it provides the infrastructure for border 
management and intelligence gathering.   

The central government also supports the expenditure 
towards the state police through centrally sponsored 
schemes for modernisation of police forces.  

Grants and loans to Union Territories: Around 
13.1% of the Ministry's budget, i.e. Rs 14,123 crore, has been allocated for grants and loans for the administration of union territories.  This includes the five union territories without legislatures (Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep), and the two union territories with legislatures (Delhi and Puducherry).   

The 2018-19 budget estimates for grants and loans to 
union territories has seen a marginal decrease of 
0.9% from revised estimates for 2017-18, which was 
Rs 14,248 crore. 

Other items: Other miscellaneous expenditure items 
of the Ministry of Home Affairs have been allocated 
Rs 5,563 crore.  This includes subjects such as 
disaster management, rehabilitation of refugees and 
migrants, and administrative matters (relating to the 
census, the secretariat and Cabinet).  Expenditure on 

these items constitutes 5.2% of the Ministry's total budget for 2018-19.

The actuals for police expenditure have been higher than budget estimates in five out of nine years.   

## Central Armed Police Forces

The Ministry of Home Affairs is responsible for 
seven central police forces: (i) Central Reserve Police 
Force (CRPF) which assists in internal security and 
law and order, (ii) Central Industrial Security Force 
(CISF) which protects vital installations (like, 
airports) and public sector undertakings, (iii) 
National Security Guards (NSG) which is a special 
counter-terrorism force, and (iv) four border guarding 
forces, Border Security Force (BSF), Indo-Tibetan 
Border Police (ITBP), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) 
and Assam Rifles (AR).   

Figure 4 shows the budget allocation to each of the 
seven central armed police forces for 2018-19, 
compared to the revised estimates of 2017-18.  

 
For 2018-19, the Central Reserve Police Force has been allocated 32.2% of the total budget for central 

## 

armed police forces, i.e. Rs 20,268 crore.  The second highest expenditure is towards the Border Security Force which has been allocated 27.3% of the total budget, i.e. Rs 17,119 crore.   

## Vacancies

Data from the Bureau of Police Research and Development shows that vacancies among CAPFs has been a persistent issue.3  As of January 2017, the total sanctioned strength of the seven central armed police forces was 10,78,514.4  However, 15% of these posts (i.e. 1,58,591 posts) were lying vacant. Table 3 below shows the percentage of vacancies in the seven CAPFs over the last six years.

In January 2017, the Sashastra Seema Bal had a very large number of vacancies (57%).  The Central Reserve Police Force, which accounts for 30% of the total sanctioned strength of the seven CAPFs, had a vacancy of 8%. 

## Service Conditions And Pay

The Standing Committee on Home Affairs in the year 2017 had expressed concern over working conditions of personnel of the border guarding forces (BSF, ITBP, SSB and AR).  The Committee observed that they had to work for 16-18 hours a day, with little time for rest and sleep.5  They were also not satisfied with medical facilities that had been provided at border locations. Further, the Committee noted that personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces had not been treated at par with the Armed Forces, in terms of pay and allowances.5  The demand for Paramilitary Service Pay, similar to Military Service Pay, had not been agreed to by the Seventh Central Pay Commission.5 In addition, the Committee observed that hard-area allowance for personnel of the border guarding forces was much lower as compared to members of the Armed Forces, despite being posted in areas with difficult terrain and harsh weather.   

## Border Infrastructure And Management

Allocations to border infrastructure and management include outlays for maintenance of border works, border check posts, border out posts, and capital 

outlays for various items including barbed wire 
fencing, construction of roads, and Hi-tech 
surveillance on Indo-Bangladesh and Indo-Pakistan 
borders. Additionally, it includes capital outlays for 
construction activities at India's international 
borders, and for setting up mobile check posts in 
coastal areas.  Table 4 shows the expenditure under 
this provision.

For 2018-19, Rs 1,750 crore has been budgeted for 
border infrastructure and management.  This is 
14.2% lower than the 2017-18 revised estimates.  In 
2017-18, the budget estimates for border 
infrastructure and management was Rs 2,600 crore.

## Delays In Project Implementation

The Standing Committee on Home Affairs observed 
in 2017 that infrastructure projects at borders have 
faced delays, particularly due to problems in land 
acquisition.5,6  Demands for compensation, by 
farmers residing in border areas, had not been met.5  
The Committee had also observed that funds 
allocated for infrastructure projects at the border have 
been underutilised.6  

The coastal security scheme is a part of border 
infrastructure and management.  The Standing 
Committee on Home Affairs had noted in 2017, that 
implementation of this scheme within the set 

timeframe has not been possible for reasons including delay in procurement of motor boats.5 Various other issues that have affected coastal security include inadequate infrastructure of Indian Coast Guard (ICG) and coastal police forces, and lack of coordination between the Indian Navy, ICG, and coastal police.5  

## Institutional Mechanism For Border Security

In its report of 2017, the Standing Committee on Home Affairs examined the institutional mechanism in place for improving border security, particularly the functioning of agencies such as the National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID) and the Multi-Agency Centre (MAC).5 The NATGRID was created to connect intelligence and law enforcement agencies with organisations that provide data (such as banks, and airlines), to enhance counterterrorism capacity.  The Committee noted that various issues remain in implementation of the project including non-procurement of equipment, and several vacancies of technical consultants.5 The MAC was set up to coordinate intelligence inputs for counterterrorism.  Subsidiary Multi Agency Centres (SMACs) have been set up in various states for streamlining intelligence efforts. The Committee had observed that the contribution of state-level agencies has been low in the inputs received by the MAC, which may signal weak intelligence gathering capacity of states.5    

## Modernisation Of Police Forces (Mpf)

For 2018-19, the central government has made allocations towards four items related to modernisation of police force.  These include: (i) Modernisation of State Police Forces Scheme; (ii) the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) scheme; (iii) Security related expenditure 
(SRE) scheme; and (iv) Special Infrastructure scheme (SIS) for Left Wing Areas.  The allocations over the last three years is outlined in Table 5 below.

Financing of the MPF scheme has changed over the years.  Following recommendations of the Fourteenth Finance Commission, it was decided that the scheme would be delinked from central government funding 

from 2015-16 onwards.7  However the Standing 
Committee on Home Affairs, in 2015 and 2017, 
highlighted the strategic importance of the scheme, 
and the improvements brought about in infrastructure 
of state police forces throughout the country.6,8  In 
September 2017, the Union Cabinet approved an 
outlay of Rs 25,060 crore under the scheme, for the 
period 2017-18 to 2019-20.9  

For the year 2018-19, Rs 3,157 crore has been 
budgeted for the scheme.  This is an increase of 
22.5% over the 2017-18 revised estimates of Rs 
2,577 crore.  Figure 6 below shows the amount of 
modernisation funds (central and state) made 
available between 2010 and 2017.  Note that there is 
a sharp decline in central funds after 2015-16.  

Sources: "Data on Police Organizations", Bureau of Police Research and Development, 2011-17; PRS.   
Modernisation of state police forces (MSPF) 
scheme 

Funds from the MSPF scheme are utilised for 
improving police infrastructure through construction 
of police stations, and provision of modern 
weaponry, surveillance, and communication 
equipment.  Upgradation of training infrastructure, 
police housing, and computerisation are also 
important objectives under the scheme.  

Some of the issues regarding the MSPF scheme are 
analysed below.   

Misuse of funds:  The Standing Committee on Home 
Affairs noted in 2017 that funds meant for mobility, 
communication, weapons, and equipment have been 
misused by states for procuring vehicles.6  This 
misuse was happening despite releasing funds after 
obtaining utilisation certificates from states.    

Underutilisation of funds:  Data from the Bureau of 
Police Research and Development, shows that there 
has been a persistent problem of underutilisation of 
modernisation funds.10  In 2016-17, the centre and 
states allocated Rs 2,066 crore for modernisation, of 
which Rs 1,546 crore (75%) was utilised.  In the 
previous year, only 14% of the modernisation funds 
was utilised.  Figure 7 below shows the level of 

utilisation of modernisation funds between 2010-11 and 2016-17.   
Construction:  Construction of well secured police stations and houses for police personnel is an important component of the scheme.11  The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has observed that there were considerable delays in construction of residential and non-residential buildings in most states.11,12 

## Other Expenditure Items Disaster Management

The Ministry of Home Affairs is the nodal ministry for handling all types of disasters other than drought, which is handled by the Ministry of Agriculture.13  It is responsible for various aspects of disaster management including capacity building, mitigation, and response to natural calamities and man-made disasters.6  Table 6 below shows the allocation for various items related to disaster management.

Some of these allocations and issues related to disaster management are examined below. 

## National Disaster Response Fund

The Disaster Management Act, 2005, mandates the 
creation of a National Disaster Response Fund and 
State Disaster Response Funds.14  Relief assistance is 
provided to states from the National Disaster 
Response Fund in case of severe natural calamities, 
where the State Disaster Response Fund is 
insufficient to cover the required expenditure.15 
Allocations to the National Disaster Response Fund 
are made by the Ministry of Finance, though it is 
administratively controlled by the Ministry of Home 
Affairs.15  For the year 2018-19, a budgetary 
allocation of Rs 2,500 crore has been made to the 
fund, which is a 31.7% decrease from the revised 
estimates of 2017-18.  

The CAG, in 2013, observed that funds have been 
released to states from the National Disaster 
Response Fund, despite availability of balances in the 
State Disaster Response Fund. 16   

In 2015, the Standing Committee on Home Affairs 
examined the response to Cyclone Hudhud in states 
of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.17  The Committee 
recommended that the National Disaster Response 
Fund should be expanded to cover reconstruction and 
mitigation components of disaster management.  
Further, advance amounts should be released to states 
when severe calamities occur, without waiting for 
assessment and clearance of the central government.  
In addition, the Committee found that only sixteen 
states (as of December 2015) had created State 
Disaster Response Funds.  

## National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project

The National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project 
(NCRMP) was launched by the Ministry of Home 
Affairs with the aim of minimising vulnerability in 
states and Union Territories that are prone to cyclone 
hazards.  Key objectives of the project include: (i) 
improving early warning dissemination systems, (ii) 
construction and maintenance of cyclone shelters, 
(iii) improved access and evacuation through 
construction of roads and bridges, and (iv) enhance 
capacity of local communities to respond to disasters.   

For 2018-19, a budgetary allocation of Rs 3.94 crore 
has been made to this project.  This is a 16.2% 
increase from the revised estimates for 2017-18, 
which was R 3.4 crore.  The Standing Committee on 
Home Affairs observed in 2017 that construction 
activity under the project had been delayed.6  Many 
of the shelters, roads, and bridges were still under 
execution, and several other projects were in various 
stages of finalisation, environmental clearance, and 
the tendering process. 

The NCRMP also contains a provision for 
expenditure on 'National Cyclone Risk Mitigation 
Project with World Bank Assistance', to reduce the 

vulnerability of coastal states which are prone to cyclone hazards.6 For 2018-19, a budgetary allocation of Rs 600 crore has been made for this provision.  It has decreased by 
4.3% from the 2017-18 revised estimates, which was Rs 690 crore.  

## National Disaster Response Force

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is a specialised force that is responsible for disaster response and relief.  For 2018-19, the budget estimates for the NDRF is Rs 864 crore.  This is 9%
