The rules regarding the correct methods to display the flag state that when two flags are entirely spread out horizontally on a wall behind a podium, their hoists should be towards each other with the saffron stripes uppermost. If the flag is displayed on a short flagpole, this should be mounted at an angle to the wall with the flag draped tastefully from it. When two national flags are displayed on crossed staff, the hoists have to be towards each other and the flags have to be fully spread. The flag should never be used, or draped from railings, as a cloth to cover tables, lecterns, podiums or houses.Whenever the flag is displayed indoors in halls at public meetings or gatherings of any kind, it should always be on the right, as this is the position of authority. So when the flag is displayed next to a speaker in the hall or other meeting place, it must be placed on the speaker's right hand. It should be to the right of the audience when it's displayed elsewhere in the hall. The flag with the saffron stripe on top should be displayed completely spread out. If the saffron stripe is hung vertically on the wall behind the podium, it should be to the left of the onlookers facing the flag with the hoist cord at the top.
The flag should be on the marching right or alone in the middle at the front, whether held in a procession or parade or with another flag or banner. The flag may form a distinguishing feature of unveiling a statue, monument, or plaque, but should never be used as the object covering. It should never be dipped into a person or thing as a show of respect for the flag, as opposed to regimental colors, organizational or institutional flags that can be dipped as an honor mark.Both persons present should face the flag and be vigilant during the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag, or when the flag is passing in a parade or in a study. Those in uniform should render a suitable salute.
The privilege of flying the national flag on vehicles is limited to the President , Vice President, Prime Minister, Lok Sabha Speaker, Chief Justice of India and Judges of the Supreme Court, Governors and Lieutenant Governors of the Indian States and Union Territories, Chief Ministers, High Court and High Court Justices, Union Ministers of the Indian Government and Cabinet Ministers of the Indian States and Union Territories
When the Indian flag is displayed with non-national flags, including corporate flags and advertising banners, the rules state that if the flags are on separate staff, the Indian flag should be in the middle, or the furthest left from the onlooker's point of view, or at least the breadth of one flag higher than the other group flags. Its flagpole must be in front of the other poles in the group, but it must be the uppermost flag if they are on the same staff. If the flag is carried in procession with other flags, it must be at the head of the marching procession, or if it is carried in line abreast with a row of flags, it must be taken to the right of the procession march.
