The Union Cabinet today has given its ex-post facto approval for creation of the Central Academy for Police Training (CAPT) at Bhopal and has approved the creation of one post of Director, CAPT in the rank of Inspector General of Police in Pay Band 4 of Rs.37,400 - 67,000 plus Grade Pay of Rs.10,000/-.

A total outlay of Rs.492 crore has been provided under the 12th Plan for Central academy for Police Training, Bhopal. Recurring expenditure for creation of one post of Director/IGP in the pay scale of PB-4, Rs.37,400 – 67,000/- with grade pay of Rs.10,000/- will be Rs.9,38,520/- per annum at the minimum of the pay scale.

Taking into account the dearth of training facilities for the Deputy Superintendent of Police, directly recruited by the State Governments and inadequate facilities for training of trainers, the academy at Bhopal, i.e. CAPT, headed by a Director, in the rank of IGP, has been approved.
