Hi,
Rules for Flag Hoisting (India)
Code of Conduct
Being a national symbol, it is respected by every Indian. There are certain do's and don'ts laid down for common people regarding the Indian flag:
- When the National Flag is raised, the saffron color band should be at the top.
- No flag or emblem should be placed either above the National Flag or to its right.
- All other flags should be placed to the left of the National Flag if they are hung in a line.
- When the National Flag is carried in a procession or parade, it shall be on the marching right or in front of the center of the line if there is a line of other flags.
- Normally, the National Flag should be flown over important government buildings like the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Parliament House, the Supreme Court of India, the High Courts, the Secretariats, the Commissioners' office, etc.
- The National Flag or any imitation of it must not be used for the purpose of trade, business, or profession.
- The National Flag should always be taken down in the evening at sunset.
According to the flag code of India, citizens of India did not have the right to hoist the Indian flag except for some important days like Republic Day, Independence Day, and Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. A renowned industrialist, Naveen Jindal, challenged this in court. When he hoisted the flag on his office building, he was told not to do so as it may be taken as a breach of the Indian flag code. He then lodged a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) in court. Now, the decision of the court is pending in this regard, but temporary permission has been granted to Indian citizens to hoist the flag on any day but in a respectable manner.
Some Interesting Facts
- The Indian flag was hoisted on the highest mountain peak of the world, Mount Everest, on 29th May 1953.
- Madam Bhikaji Rustom Cama was the first person to hoist the Indian flag on foreign soil on 22nd August 1907 in Stuttgart, Germany.
- The Indian National Flag flew to space in 1984 when Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma went to space. The flag was attached as a medallion on the space suit of Rakesh Sharma.
