Central Police Canteen
The Central Police Canteen (commonly abbreviated as the CPC), officially known as the Kendriya Police Kalyan Bhandar (), is a retail chain in India serving the active and retired personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces, the Central Police Organisations, and different state police forces and their families. Established on 26 September 2006 by an order of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the CPC works as an independent department under the Ministry. There are 119 master canteens and over 1,778 subsidiary canteens in the CPC system. Headed by an additional director general-rank officer, who is appointed by the Home Ministry on a rotation basis from the six CAPFs, the CPC is headquartered at Rama Krishna Puram, New Delhi. The routine affairs related to it are handled by its Chief Executive Officer, who is a deputy inspector general-rank officer.

The products available at the CPC subsidiary canteens are not tax-exempt as they are in the Canteen Stores Department of the Ministry of Defence, and many petitions to the government have been made by different central and state organisations to extend such tax rebates to the CPC.

The CPC is in the process of promoting indigenous products following the call for Atmanirbhar Bharat by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
