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.
