Which one of the following Acts is applicable to the members of the Central Industrial Security Force ?

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is an armed force of the Union established under the CISF Act, 1968. According to Section 19 of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968, the Police (Incitement to Disaffection) Act, 1922 is explicitly made applicable to the members of the Force in the same manner as it applies to members of a police force. This Act penalizes any action intended to cause disaffection among the members of the police or security forces towards the government.

Conversely, members of the CISF are generally excluded from the definition of "workman" or "worker" under labor legislations like the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Factories Act, 1948, and the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, as they are governed by their own specialized service rules and disciplinary framework under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
