The Assam Rifles is unique among India’s paramilitary forces in having a dual control structure. Its administrative control falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), while its operational control is under the Ministry of Defence (specifically, the Indian Army).

This dual control structure differentiates the Assam Rifles from other paramilitary forces like the CRPF, BSF, ITBP, and CISF, which are solely under the administrative and operational control of the MHA.

The Assam Rifles is one of the oldest paramilitary forces in India, established in 1835. It is primarily tasked with border security, counter-insurgency operations, and maintaining law and order in the North-Eastern states of India.
