Uttar Pradesh is reserved for PPS officers (SPS quota). Salary structure Most of the directly recruited PPS officers get promoted to the IPS after getting grade pay of level 13 or 13A. Those who don't get promotion to IPS get classified as 'superseded' and get the grade pay of level 14. Major concerns and reforms Promotion to IPS According to the Indian Police Service (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1955, PPS officers are eligible for promotion to IPS after completion of eight years of service. But in reality, officers are generally promoted to the IPS after two and half decades in service. Unlike their counterparts in PCS who get promoted to IAS almost five years early. Political influence Directly recruited IPS officers often complain that promotee PPS officers are given preference in field postings due to their close proximity to politicians which they form in two decades of their service. Since the state government was often ruled by regional parties, many politicians allegedly fix 'their men' on important inspector general and deputy inspector general rank positions. Currently 32 out of 75 district SSPs and SPs are promotee IPS officers, including the SSP of Kanpur Nagar, which has the largest district police force in the state. In addition six deputy inspectors general heading range headquarters are promotee IPS officers.
