Question

After assessing the dangers, the security category is separated into five groups (X, Y, Z, Z+, SPG) and assigned to a person.
Z+ level security has the second-highest level of security protection. This security coverage protects a 55-person workforce, which includes 10+ NSG commandos and police officers.
SPG level security is provided to the Prime Minister of India, former Prime Ministers of India, and members of their families. It was established in 1988 by an Act of the Indian Parliament.
Protectees get residence security from state police, but mobile security from a Central Armed Police Force (CAPF). Central Armed Police Forces of India is a group of forces (under the Ministry of Home Affairs) for internal security. It includes the CRPF, CISF, ITBP, etc.
For VIPs other than the PM, the government has mandated the National Security Guard (NSG), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to provide security cover.
Anyone to whom the government provides security after assessment by intelligence agencies, gets the protection for free.
However, those who have an elaborate security cover such as those in the Z and Z-plus categories, may have to consider accommodation for these security personnel on their own.
Private Individuals who apply for the security but their case is not having consequences on the government and civil society, the government can charge a private individual for their security cover even after assessing a threat to them.
