Q104 (CISF/2026) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

As per the existing VIP Security Norms and Provisions, which one of the following statements is correct ?

SPG provides Security Cover to the Prime Minister, Ex-Prime Minister and their family members.

'X' Category protectees are provided with PSOs and House Guards.

'Y' Category protection is extended to the Ministers and MPs only.

'Z+' Category protectees are provided with Escort and House Guard security cover.

Result

Your answer: — · Correct: D

Explanation

The security norms in India are determined by the Ministry of Home Affairs based on threat perception. Following the Special Protection Group (Amendment) Act, 2019, SPG cover is restricted to the Prime Minister and immediate family residing with him; former PMs receive it for only five years. Thus, Option A is incorrect.

X Category: Provides only 2 PSOs (Personal Security Officers) and no house guards, making Option B incorrect.
Y Category: Security is threat-based and not restricted to Ministers/MPs; it includes 11 personnel (PSOs and guards), making Option C incorrect.
Z+ Category: This is the highest level of protection (excluding SPG), involving 55 personnel. It includes a bulletproof vehicle, escorts, and a house guard contingent, making Option D the correct statement.

These categories ensure tiered protection ranging from basic PSOs to comprehensive mobile and static security covers.
