Though it looks like a state police, it's actually a central police force, as it comes directly under the "Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India". The promotions, transfers, etc are done by the MHA, not the Delhi State Government.
Here in this blog, I have discussed the salary, job profile, promotion and selection process of Sub-Inspectors in Delhi Police.
Let's start with the salary.
The salary of Delhi Police is the highest among all the police forces in India. It is probably due to two main factors:
(i) Posting of Delhi Police is always in Delhi, which is X-city, and so HRA is 30% and TA is also 3600, which makes the salary higher than other police forces.
(ii) It comes under the central government, and the allowances paid by central government is always higher than the state government.
