The Indian National Flag represents the hopes and aspirations of the people of India. It is the symbol of our national pride and there is universal affection and respect for, and loyalty to, the National Flag. However, a perceptible lack of awareness is often noticed amongst people as well as organizations/agencies of the Government in regard to laws, practices and conventions that apply to display of the National Flag.
Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has issued strict compliance of the provisions of The Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 and Flag Code of India, 2002 (as amended in 2021 & 2022), a copy of which is available in the Home Affairs Ministry’s website www.mha.gov.in.
