Hi I am a free lancer journalist and want to rite a blog on the CAPF so need to know that what Ration Money Allowance (RMA) is paid to the CAPF ???

Well the Ration Money Allowance (RMA) is given for all personnel of Defence forces and non gazetted personnel of CAPFs.


CAPF has five wings

Border Security Force (BSF),

Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF),

Central Industrial Security Force (CISF),

Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP),

Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB)

Current rate of this allowance is 95.52 per day for Non-Gazetted personnel and Rs.79.93 per day for Gazetted personnel.

There are demands to extend RMA to gazetted officers of CAPFs in line with Defence forces.

Demands have also been received from some CAPFs that RMA should be exempted from the purview of income tax.
