Perspective: Inter Services Organisations Bill 2023

The government on Wednesday introduced a bill in Lok Sabha to empower commander-in-chiefs or any other officers posted in tri-services Organizations with disciplinary and administrative powers in respect of personnel serving in them. At present, the service personnel of Indian Air Force, Army and Navy are governed by the provisions of the Air Force Act, 1950, the Army Act, 1950 and the Navy Act, 1957 respectively. Under current norms only officers of the respective services are empowered to exercise disciplinary powers over the service personnel under the respective service Acts. The Inter-services Organizations (Command, Control and Discipline) Bill, 2023 will also pave the way for various other tangible benefits such as expeditious disposal of cases, saving of time and public money by avoiding multiple proceedings and greater integration and jointmanship among armed forces personnel. As per the the aterisation plan, each of the theatre commands will have units of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force and all of them will work as a single entity looking after security challenges in a specified geographical territory under an operational commander.
