Hey everybody! This is Priya and you are watching Finology Legal

In todays video firstly we will learn that how many types of security is available in India

Which one is very strict and how others are different ?

Secondly, who is provided by which kind of security ?

and lastly we will learn that how this things are managed.

So lets start today's video

Now, which person should get provided which level of security, and what else should be present in it

all these guidelines are present in 2 places, first is "Blue Book"

here security guidelines related to President, Vice - President and Prime Minister is mentioned

The second one is "Yellow Book"

here security guidelines for other VIP's and political persons are mentioned

Who is required which level of security is decided by the Home Ministry with the help of different Intelligent agencies

just like this state government has also its criteria for the same

Now presently if we talk about only Central Govt's list

there are 230 such people who are provided different types of security

this list is even increased or decreased according to the emergency

this is only the Central Govt's list, State Govt. has its own list

so there are 6 levels of security cover - X, Y, Y+, Z, Z+ and SPG

so lets there functioning one by one

The very first one is SPG means Special Protection Group

this is an elite force which only provides security to the Prime Minister of this country

Now you just imagine what would be the budget of this security?

So in the budget for year 2020, 592 crore rupees has been allocated for SPG security

Out of which 145 crore has to be spent on modern security equipment and infrastructure

Till 1981, India's Prime Minister's security was under Delhi police and the special task force of Intelligence Bureau

But after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984

for strengthening the security, home ministry setup a review committee - Birbal Nath committee

and by their recommendation, on April 1985 this special protection group was made

So as i said, the SPG category in India is only provided to the Prime Minister

so total how many people give security under SPG, is a CLASSIFIED information

In this level of security, SPG and NSG provides security cover to the Prime Minister

after this the 2nd highest level of security is Z+ security

in which 55 Security personnel look after all the arrangements

there are also 10 NSG commandos included in this 55 personnel

According to March 2021 Central list almost 40 VIP''s are being provided Z+ security

the information related to this security is also a classified information, so publicly the list is not available

but according to a speculation the peoples in this list are Rahul Gandhi, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh

Yogi Adityanath, Priyanka Gandhi, Ex Prime Ministers and countries other important and high profile ministers

judges of Supreme Court and High Court, Army heads and prominent personalities are provided this security.

Government also has to pay a cost for providing this security

like the cost of Z+ security is 20 lakhs per month

and the cost of Z security is almost 15-16 lakhs/ month

and the government pays this amount by tax payer's money

There are such peoples who pay their own money for the security

for ex- Mukesh Ambani, who himself pays for the different level of security he have

that's why when government provided "Y" category security to Kangana Ranaut

then people asked the reason behind giving her the security

and said that, well established celebrity like Kangana can reimburse her security

and the money of tax payers should not be spent unnecessarily

Next is Z category security

In this level 22 security personnel are involved

in which there are 4 - 5 NSG commandos

and police personnel who provides security

This security is provided by Delhi Police, ITBP and CRPF

an escort vehicle is included in both Z+ and Z category security

After that comes Y+ Security

in which 11 security personnel are involved and 1 -2 NSG guards are also in it

and on rotational basis 2 personnel security officers are always present with the person

The responsibility of this level security is mainly on CRPF

below this comes Y category security

there are total 8 security personnel in it

in which 1 or 2 commandos and police personnel are there

and 2 personnel security is always present with the person on rotational basis

and lastly comes X category security, in which 2-3 police mens are there

Most of the people in India have X & Y category security
