Flying a kite is something that most of us love to do, especially during the time of Makar Sankranti. However, it is illegal to fly a kite in India without a permit.
As per the Indian Aircraft Act, 1934, you need a permit to fly an aircraft. According to the Act, an aircraft is any machine that can “derive support in the atmosphere from reaction of the air that include balloons, air ships, kites, gliders and flying machines.”
Negligent flying of a kite is punishable by imprisonment of 2 years or a fine of up to ₹10,00,000.
