In BSF still basic training period and further techincal training period in case technical categories are not taken into account with that we are lossing around 2 years of our qualified service for the next MACP. On the other hand there is no promotion even after 25 years of long service.(in comn set-up)
please look into the matter if possible
Why such benifits are not extended to BSF personnel who stake their lives for the sake of nation nation
In BSF neither there is any promotion nor timely benifit. further more fittness is mandatory how it is possible after attaining 45 years of age one has to be like a new entrant. it is usual to reel under some ailments. If atleast one promotion is given before the first 10 years of service on timely basis then one could be able to get next financial upgradation in the form MACP if delay in getting second promotion
