The Central Bureau of Investigation was founded here. Its headquarters were in Lahore.<\/p>\n<p>Rai Sahib Karam Chand Jain was the War Department&#8217;s first legal adviser. The need for a central government agency to look into bribery and corruption by central government employees persisted after the war. When the department was moved to the Home Department by Sahib Karam Chand Jain, he continued to serve as its legal advisor. Based on the suggestions of the Santhanam Committee on Prevention of Corruption, the MHA passed a resolution in 1963 that formally established the CBI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Also Check: <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/full-form\/b-com-full-form\/\">B.Com Full Form<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/full-form\/bds-full-form\/\">BDS Full Form<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/full-form\/be-full-form\/\">BE Full Form<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CBI_Director_Appointment_and_Selection_Committees\"><\/span>CBI Director Appointment and Selection Committees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The CBI Director is appointed for a term of not less than two years. The director appointment is to be made by the Appointment Committee on the recommendations of the Selection Committee. The Delhi Special Police Establishment Act governs these procedures, 1946, subsequently amended by the Lokpal and Lokayukta Act, 2013, and the Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003. Members of the Appointment Committee:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Prime Minister<\/li>\n<li>The Chief Justice of India<\/li>\n<li>The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Central Government appoints the CBI Director based on the recommendations of this committee.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Selection Committee<\/em>, formed under the DSPE Act, is responsible for shortlisting a few candidates.

It is roughly 65 kilometers (40 miles) from Indira Gandhi International Airport and 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the New Delhi train station.<\/p>\n<p>The academic, administrative, residential, and dorm buildings are located on the 26.5-acre (10.7-hectare) campus, which is surrounded by fields and plantations. Before the CBI academy was established, short-term in-service training was offered at a small training facility in Lok Nayak Bhawan (New Delhi). For basic training courses for DSP, SI, and constables, the CBI then turned to state police training facilities and Hyderabad&#8217;s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CBI_Jurisdiction_Powers_Restrictions\"><\/span>CBI Jurisdiction, Powers, Restrictions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2022, the Prime Minister&#8217;s office&#8217;s state minister told the Rajya Sabha that nine states had revoked their general consent for the CBI to look into cases in their states. <em>Maharashtra, West Bengal, Kerala, and Punjab<\/em> are among the states. Tamil Nadu (TN) was the 9th state to revoke its consent in June 2023.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CBI_Recruitment\"><\/span>CBI Recruitment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The CBI uses both direct and indirect hiring practices and CBI recruitment. The Staff Selection Commission&#8217;s Combined Graduate Level (SSC CGL) exam is the main method used for direct recruitment, which fills entry-level jobs for lower-level employees.<\/p>\n<p>Indirectly, deputing seasoned and deserving officers from the Indian Police Service (IPS) cadre and occasionally from the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) cadre fills superior officer positions (Group A). Deputizing officers from different state police forces, union territory police, and other law enforcement organizations can also be used to fill subordinate positions.<\/p>\n<p>Officers from State Police Services (SPSs) across India may be assigned by the CBI to lower-level roles like Inspector and Sub-Inspector of Police, as well as higher-level roles like Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and Addl. SP (Additional Superintendent of Police).<\/p>\n<p>The CBI is typically tasked with handling delicate national cases. State police departments routinely register cases that fall under their purview. A case may be forwarded to the CBI by the central government if required.<\/p>\n<p>The organization has come under fire for handling a number of scams improperly. It has also come under fire for taking too long to look into well-known politicians like Jayalalithaa, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Mayawati, Mulayam Singh Yadav, P. V. Narasimha Rao, and many others.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CBI_Exemption_from_Right_to_Information_RTI\"><\/span>CBI Exemption from Right to Information (RTI)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>CBI is exempt from the provisions of the RTI (Right to Information Act) of 2005. On June 9, 2011, the government granted this exemption on the grounds of national security (along with similar exemptions for the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Directorate General of Income Tax Investigation, and the Natgrid (National Intelligence Grid).<\/p>\n<p>RTI activists and the Central Information Commission blasted it, claiming that the broad exemption went against the spirit and purpose of the RTI Act. The Madras High Court upheld the exemption.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CBI_Divisions\"><\/span>CBI Divisions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) works through various specialized divisions. Each division is responsible for a particular type of case or function. This structure helps the CBI manage its wide range of duties efficiently. Below are the main divisions of the CBI and their roles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anti-Corruption Division: This division handles cases involving public servants in accordance with the Prevention of Corruption Act.<\/li>\n<li>The Economic Offenses Division looks into serious economic crimes, financial scams, and bank fraud.<\/li>\n<li>The Special Crimes Division deals with murders and crimes of national importance in addition to high-profile cases that are referred by states or courts.<\/li>\n<li>Directorate of Prosecution: Prosecution-related matters.<\/li>\n<li>The Administration Division handles matters of administration and policies.<\/li>\n<li>Division of Policy and Coordination, CFSL (Central Forensic Science Laboratory)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CBI_Zonal_Offices\"><\/span>CBI Zonal Offices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The CBI is operationally separated into zones. A Joint Director is in charge of each zonal office, which is responsible for managing several branch offices under its purview. The cities of Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh are home to important zonal offices.<\/p>\n<p>These offices manage specialized regions&#8217; Anti-Corruption Branches (ACBs), Economic Offenses Branches, and Special Crimes Branches in order to guarantee effective investigation, administrative assistance, and interagency coordination.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_on_CBI_Full_Form\"><\/span>FAQs on CBI Full Form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t<section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_become_a_CBI_officer\"><\/span>How do I become a CBI officer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe SSC CGL exam, administered by the Staff Selection Commission every year, must be passed in order to join the CBI directly. \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_meant_by_CBI\"><\/span>What is meant by CBI? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Central Bureau of Investigation, India's top investigating police force, is commonly referred to as CBI.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_CBI\"><\/span>What are the benefits of CBI?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMany benefits, including HRA, DA, Transportation Allowance, and Medical Allowance, are available to CBI officers.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n\t{\n\t\t\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\t\"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n\t\t\"mainEntity\": [\n\t\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"How do I become a CBI officer?\",\n\t\t\t\t\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"text\": \"The SSC CGL exam, administered by the Staff Selection Commission every year, must be passed in order to join the CBI directly.\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t,\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"What is meant by CBI? \",\n\t\t\t\t\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"text\": \"The Central Bureau of Investigation, India's top investigating police force, is commonly referred to as CBI.\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t,\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"What are the benefits of CBI?\",\n\t\t\t\t\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"text\": \"Many benefits, including HRA, DA, Transportation Allowance, and Medical Allowance, are available to CBI officers.\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t]\n\t}\n<\/script>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBI Full Form: CBI stands for Central Bureau of Investigation.
