MHA can queer the pitch for IPS officers for being DGPs in States

The empanelment committee constituted for the selection of the state DGPs will not assess and consider the IPS officers on deputation to the Central Government for the posts of DGPs in the States, if the Home Affairs Ministry (MHA) refused to relieve the officers at this point of time. Also, IPS Officers will not be included in the selection panel unless they themselves are willing to hold the post.
