West Bengal Gives NOC to 3 IPS Officers for Central Deputation; Amit P Javalgi Moves to NIA as Inspector General
West Bengal has granted central deputation clearance to IPS officers Amit P Javalgi, B V Chandra Sekhar and Amandeep. Javalgi has been appointed Inspector General in the National Investigation Agency.
Kolkata/New Delhi, August 13, 2026: The West Bengal government has cleared the way for three senior IPS officers to move to the Centre by granting them No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for central deputation, marking another significant movement of experienced police leadership into the Government of India’s security and law enforcement system.
The officers who have received the clearance are Amit P Javalgi (IPS: 2006, West Bengal cadre), B V Chandra Sekhar (IPS: 2009, West Bengal cadre) and Amandeep (IPS: 2014, West Bengal cadre).
Among them, Amit P Javalgi has already been appointed as an Inspector General in the National Investigation Agency (NIA), while the deputation process for B V Chandra Sekhar and Amandeep is expected to proceed for future assignments under the Central government.
The three officers collectively bring extensive experience in investigation, intelligence gathering, district policing, metropolitan law and order management and election-related security operations, making them valuable additions to the Centre’s pool of senior police officers.
Amit P Javalgi Moves to the National Investigation Agency
The most prominent development in the latest deputation approvals is the appointment of Amit P Javalgi as Inspector General in the National Investigation Agency.
A 2006-batch direct-recruit IPS officer, Javalgi entered the Indian Police Service after clearing the UPSC Civil Services Examination and officially joined the service on August 29, 2006.
Over nearly two decades of policing, he has held several important assignments within the West Bengal Police.
Before receiving his central posting, Javalgi was serving as Commissioner of Police, Chandannagar Police Commissionerate, holding the rank of Inspector General at Pay Level 14. He had occupied that position since January 1, 2024.
His move to the NIA places him in one of India’s premier counter-terrorism and investigation agencies, where senior officers handle cases involving terrorism, organised crime with national implications and other offences investigated under the agency’s jurisdiction.
An Engineering Graduate With Nearly Two Decades of Experience
Javalgi’s academic background is rooted in engineering.
He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering, a qualification that preceded his entry into the civil services.
Throughout his career, he has served in several significant policing assignments, gaining experience across different areas of law enforcement.
His service record also earned him the Medal for Meritorious Service in 2025, recognising his contributions to policing during his tenure in West Bengal.
His transition to the NIA now represents one of the most significant milestones in his professional journey.
B V Chandra Sekhar Gets Clearance for Central Deputation
Another senior officer cleared for central deputation is B V Chandra Sekhar, a 2009-batch IPS officer of the West Bengal cadre.
Like Javalgi, he entered the IPS through direct recruitment after qualifying in the UPSC Civil Services Examination.
Originally from Andhra Pradesh, Chandra Sekhar joined the service on December 21, 2009, and has accumulated more than 17 years of policing experience.
He is presently serving as Joint Commissioner of Police (Headquarters), Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, a position he has held since February 19, 2024, at Pay Level 13.
The NOC granted by the West Bengal government now enables him to take up an assignment under the Government of India once the deputation process is completed.
Strong Experience in Urban Policing and Intelligence
Chandra Sekhar’s career has included several important postings in metropolitan policing and intelligence operations.
During his tenure with the Kolkata Police, he served as Deputy Commissioner of Police in both the Detective Department and the Special Branch, giving him extensive exposure to criminal investigations and intelligence gathering.
His experience later expanded through his role in the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, where he has handled headquarters administration, urban policing initiatives and election-related security management.
This combination of investigative and administrative experience makes him well suited for a future Central government assignment.
Amandeep Also Joins the Central Deputation Pool
The third officer receiving central deputation clearance is Amandeep, a 2014-batch IPS officer of the West Bengal cadre.
Although younger in service compared to the other two officers, Amandeep has already built a diverse policing profile through district assignments and intelligence-related responsibilities.
His field experience includes serving as Superintendent of Police in Birbhum and Purba Bardhaman (East Burdwan) districts.
Earlier in his career, he also served in Hooghly Rural, giving him additional district-level policing experience.
Intelligence and Election Management Experience
Apart from district policing, Amandeep has also worked within the West Bengal Police Intelligence Branch, where he served as Special Superintendent of Police.
His professional experience extends beyond routine policing.
He has also undertaken assignments connected with the Election Commission of India, serving as an observer during Assembly election processes.
The combination of intelligence work, field policing and election management gives him a well-rounded administrative profile as he prepares for a Central government assignment.
What Central Deputation Means
The granting of an NOC is a crucial step in the central deputation process for IPS officers.
State governments must first issue a No Objection Certificate before officers can be considered for postings under the Government of India.
These assignments place officers in Central organisations such as the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Intelligence Bureau (IB) and other national institutions responsible for policing, security and investigations.
Central deputation not only provides experienced officers to national agencies but also broadens the professional exposure of officers serving in state cadres.
A Combined Wealth of Experience
Together, the three West Bengal officers bring expertise across multiple policing domains.
Their experience includes:
-
District policing
-
Metropolitan law and order
-
Criminal investigation
-
Intelligence operations
-
Election security management
-
Police administration
-
Counter-terrorism readiness
With Amit P Javalgi already moving to the NIA and the deputation process progressing for B V Chandra Sekhar and Amandeep, the Centre stands to gain officers with extensive operational and administrative experience.
Another Significant Move in West Bengal’s Senior Police Leadership
The latest NOCs mark another important round of movement involving senior West Bengal-cadre IPS officers.
While Amit P Javalgi is set to strengthen the National Investigation Agency as Inspector General, B V Chandra Sekhar and Amandeep are now positioned to join the Centre through the deputation process.
Their combined experience in policing, intelligence, investigations and public security reflects the continued role that state-cadre officers play in reinforcing India’s national law enforcement and internal security institutions.
