Assistant Commandant in CAPF

Qualified candidates are allocated to one of the participating forces as Assistant Commandant. Appointments are made on probation for a period of 2 years provided that this period may be extended if the officer on probation has not qualified for a confirmation by passing the prescribed departmental examinations.

Repeated failures to pass the departmental examinations within a period of 3 years will involve loss of appointment or reversion to his or her substantive post, if any.

If in the opinion of Government the work or conduct of an officer on probation is unsatisfactory or shows that he or she is unlikely to become an efficient Assistant Commandant, the Government may discharge him or her forthwith or may revert him or her to its substantive post, if any.

On the conclusion of his or her period of probation, Government may confirm the officer in his or her appointment or if the work or conduct has been unsatisfactory, Government may either discharge from the service or may extend period of probation for such further period as Government may think fit provided that in respect of appointment to temporary vacancies there will be no claim to confirmation.
