False Equivalencies posted
For some reason, some person has decided to post equivalent Naval ranks in the article, even though the Coast Guard pay grade link cited by them does not mention any such equivalency at all, and they seem to have made up the equivalencies according to their own preferences and convenience. I have corrected the ranks, and added the actual equivalency by government pay grade, but I would suggest that the section be locked from editing, to prevent vandalism, and false and misleading information being given out. It was suggested that the entry level position of Assistant Commandant is equivalent to a Naval Lieutenant, when it is actually in the same pay grade as a Sub Lieutenant, the entry level naval officers post. Again, Commandant JG's are in a lower scale of pay than commanders, but were sought to (wrongly be equated). I have corrected this, and added a link to the Naval pay scales. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aspuar (talk • contribs) 16:59, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Law enforcement agency or military unit?
From the content of the article it seems that the Indian Coast Guard is in actuality a law enforcement agency and not a military unit. What is the relevance of {{Military of India}} to the arcticle? Peet Ern (talk) 04:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
It is military. It is a part of the Indian armed foerces. It only has law enforcment type misisons —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.244.141.229 (talk) 01:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Assessment comment
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Indian Coast Guard/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following
| It is the misconception that Indian Coast Guard is not part of Indian armed forces. This is indeed shameful and shabby response from resposible website like wikipedia that information inserted is not at all authentic. It should be verified the very time someone edits the important information about an armed force of a country. |

Infobox edits
Hemant Dabral I reverted your edits for the following reasons: First, whenever we mention Commanding officers, their awards should also be mentioned. This is a convention which is replicated across other Indian Armed Forces pages as well. Second, you are right that there are five regional commanders. But there is an additional commander which oversees the entire western seaboard. He is ranked higher than the regional commanders and is associated with the CHQ not a regional command. That is the reason he is mentioned there. In addition, I have done the following, I removed the wiki links for missing wiki pages but kept the service medals intact. Feel free to chime in here and discuss but do not revert edits without building consensus. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 12:01, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

infobox military unit vs infobox law enforcement agency
@Soap Boy 1: Refer to your edit, whereas you replace infobox from Infobox law enforcement agency to Infobox military unit just because you said military infobox suits better is on the edit summary.
Refer to usage section on Template:Infobox military unit: A military unit infobox may be used to summarize information about an individual military unit or formation, such as a regiment or division. and template documentation on Template:Infobox law enforcement agency: an infobox template for use in articles on individual law enforcement agencies. Soap Boy 1 himself acknowledge that Indian coast guard is a law enforcement agency on the edit summary.
Template:Infobox law enforcement agency have specific parameter for law enforcement agency that can be used on the article such as |speciality1= and |constitution1=.
Other coast guards article (that is not part of armed forces/military) also uses Template:Infobox law enforcement agency, such as Japan Coast Guard, Swedish Coast Guard, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, Korea Coast Guard, and etc.
I couldn't find any rationale that justify your statement on edit summary that military infobox suits better is. Hence that edit will be reverted. However, if you have better rationale other than military infobox suits better is then you may discuss it here. Ckfasdf (talk) 02:29, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
