Cabinet Committee on Security Prime Minister of India Parliament of India New Delhi New Delhi The minister of home affairs is the head of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of India. One of the senior-most portfolios in the Union Cabinet, the chief responsibility of the home minister is the maintenance of the internal security of India; the country's large police force comes under its jurisdiction. Occasionally, they are assisted by the minister of state of home affairs and the lower-ranked deputy minister of home affairs.

Ever since the time of independent India's first home minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the office has been seen as second in seniority only to the prime minister in the union cabinet. Like Patel, several home ministers have since held the additional portfolio of deputy prime minister. As of today, three home ministers have gone on to become the prime minister: Lal Bahadur Shastri, Charan Singh and P. V. Narasimha Rao. Amit Shah is the current and the longest serving home minister in history from 30 May 2019 till date.

On several occasions, the prime minister also held the additional portfolio of the minister of home affairs. Jawaharlal Nehru briefly acted as home minister in 1950 following the demise of Vallabhbhai Patel, Indira Gandhi briefly served as home minister in 1966 following resignation of Gulzarilal Nanda, Morarji Desai held the portfolio from 1978 till 1979, Chandra Shekhar throughout his prime ministerial tenure and H. D. Deve Gowda briefly served as home minister in 1996.

P. Chidambaram who served as the home minister from 2008 till 2012 has the rare distinction of serving as both cabinet minister and minister of state in the ministry. He served as minister of state from 1986 till 1989. The current minister is Amit Shah of the Bharatiya Janata Party who has been in office since 30 May 2019 and succeeded his party colleague Rajnath Singh as the home minister.
