History

Defence Security Corps (DSC) was previously known as Defence Department Constabulary Centre. It was founded on April 25, 1947, at Mathura in Uttar Pradesh State in Northern India. The establishment was subsequently moved to Delhi on May 3, 1947. Originally, the DSC was developed as a police force with the hierarchy, titles, and badges of ranks of police. On April 23, 1948, the Defence Constabulary Department was re-organised and re-designated as Ministry of Defence Security Corps (MDSC) with military titles and badges of ranks. Again, on August 16, 1958, MDSC was renamed Defence Security Corps and brought under direct control of Army Headquarters. Subsequently the DSC centre and DSC records were shifted from Delhi to Chakratha (Uttar Pradesh) in 1959 and finally to Kannur (Kerala) on November 21, 1961. The Pay and accounts office of the DSC were always located at Delhi and managed and disbursed pay and other allowances of DSC from there.[4]

The pay accounts office of the Defence Security Corps (DSC) regiment which was located at Delhi was later shifted to the Kannur Cantonment where the DSC Training centre and DSC Records office existed. DSC Regiment was shifted to Kannur in 1961. With this shift, a release group was formed in March 1966 at Southern command.
