While the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968 provides the legislative framework for the force, and the CISF Rules, 2001 are framed under the Act to provide detailed service conditions, the specific methods of recruitment, age limits, educational qualifications, physical standards, etc., for each post are primarily laid down in specific Recruitment Rules framed for different ranks or groups of posts within the force. These Recruitment Rules are often amended from time to time.

– Acts provide the main legal basis.
– Rules (like CISF Rules) provide general service conditions, discipline, and broad recruitment principles.
– Recruitment Rules are the detailed documents specifying eligibility criteria, selection procedures, and methodologies for specific posts.
– An agreement at the time of appointment outlines individual terms, not general recruitment rules.

– For most government services and forces in India, specific Recruitment Rules, often called Service Rules, govern the entry qualifications and methods. These rules are framed under the relevant Act and/or the main Service Rules governing general conditions.
