Ex CAPF Status

Hi I would like to have the details for the OM for designating the retired CAPF personnel as Ex-CAPF and Ex-Servicemen Status?

The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued an OM to give the status of "ex-focal police work force" to more than 15 lakh Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) staff keeping pace with the "ex-servicemen" status of the military. In any case, the service has put the onus on the individual state governments, abandoning it to them to offer the post-retirement advantages to the CAPF staff.

The content of OM is imitated here:-
Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs
No. 27011/100/2012-R&W dated 23-11-2012

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Designating the retired Central Armed Police Force (CAPF i.e CRPF, BSF, CISF, ITBF and SSB) personnel as "Ex-Central Armed Police Force personnel (Ex-CAPF personnel).
