Chandigarh- Haryana Sainik and Ardh Sainik Welfare Minister, Rao Narbir Singh, today announced a significant initiative for the welfare of former personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). He said Haryana is the first state in the country to extend various benefits to former CAPF personnel on par with ex-servicemen from the Armed Forces. He reaffirmed the State Government’s commitment to the welfare and well-being of CAPF veterans and their families.
Taking another major step in this direction, the Department of Sainik and Ardh Sainik Welfare, Haryana (Panchkula) has launched the online registration facility for former CAPF personnel on its official website.The Minister said that all former personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Assam Rifles, and other CAPF organisations, along with their family members, can now register online through the department’s website.

In addition, if former personnel of the BSF, CRPF, ITBP, CISF, SSB, Assam Rifles, or other CAPF organisations have any discrepancies in their service records or long-pending service-related issues, these can now be addressed through this registration process.
