IPS officers have a vertical tenure based promotion system in accordance with IPS cadre rules. Cadre management, however, varies from state to state. Anyone who has served 30, 25 and 18 years in service is eligible to become a DGP, ADGP and IG, respectively.
In Punjab, promotions are done promptly after a batch becomes eligible for a higher rank, where as some states with stricter cadre managements, promote officers only when a vacancy arises in the cadre posts.
Punjab police has yet to recruit the staff at NGO (Non gazette officer) at bottom level.
