ARSI is recognized by the Indian government under the provisions of Section 13 of the Indian Societies Registration Act (No. XXI of 1860) as amended and extended.[1] ARSI operates a QSL bureau for those amateur radio operators in regular contact with amateur radio operators in other countries, and supports amateur radio operating awards and radio contests.

A second ARSI expedition was carried out from Andaman in 2011 operating from Port Blair with the callsign VU4PB.
