Which one of the following statements is correct?
The Director General may grant to an officer of the CISF a higher rank than the one held by him, as a local rank, whenever considered necessary by him in the interest of better functioning of the CISF.

A

A) Grant of such a local rank is not subject to confirmation by the Central Government.

B

B) Local rank can be conferred by the Director General up to and including the rank of Senior Commandant/Assistant Inspector General.

C

C) An officer of the CISF who has been granted a local rank is not entitled to any extra pay and allowances for holding such a rank.

D

D) The power to grant a local rank can be delegated by the Director General to the Additional Director General, if considered necessary.

The correct statement is Option C. The provisions regarding the grant of local ranks are governed by Rule 14 of the CISF Rules, 2001.

Rule 14(2)(b) explicitly states that an officer who has been granted a local rank "shall not be entitled to any extra pay and allowances for holding such rank."
Rule 14(3) specifies that the grant of such local rank is subject to confirmation by the Central Government, which makes Option A incorrect.
Rule 14(1) empowers the Director General to grant local rank up to and including the rank of Commandant. Since Senior Commandant is a higher rank in the CISF hierarchy, Option B is incorrect.
The rules do not contain any provision allowing the Director General to delegate this specific statutory power to an Additional Director General, making Option D incorrect.
