CRPF and CISF are two major paramilitary forces. CRPF's DG is considered more powerful because the number of soldiers under him is more and there is more activity in the field.

In the Central Armed Police Forces, the role of DG i.e. Director General is considered very important. But when it comes to two major forces like CRPF and CISF, then this question definitely arises in the minds of the people after all which force's DG is more powerful? And which post gets more salary? Let's know the important things related to these two top posts.

Power and responsibility of DG

CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) is India's largest paramilitary force, whose responsibility is to strengthen the internal security system of the country. From Naxal-affected areas to Jammu and Kashmir and North-East, CRPF is deployed on every difficult front. The DG of this force commands more than 3 lakh soldiers. In such a situation, the DG of CRPF is not only the head of the largest force, but his influence and decision making ability is also quite extensive.

At the same time, the main role of CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) is to protect the industrial and economic assets of the country. The security of airports, nuclear plants, metros, government establishments and many private sector companies is entrusted to CISF. Although its deployment is not extensive, but the responsibilities are quite sensitive and high-level.

Who is more powerful?

Technically, the rank and grade of both DGs are the same. DG (Director General) rank IPS officers are appointed by the Central Government. But the post of DG of CRPF is generally considered more powerful because the number of soldiers under it is more and there is more activity in the field.

Whose salary is higher?

Both DGs get a great salary, which is around Rs 2,25,000 per month. Apart from this, they also get many other allowances. That means, in terms of salary, both CRPF and CISF DGs get the same salary.
