- Proper Order: Ensure the saffron band is on top, followed by white in the middle, and green at the bottom.
- Correct Position: The flag must never be hoisted inverted.
- Condition of the Flag: Use only flags in good condition; torn or damaged flags should not be hoisted.
- Display Protocol: The flag should always be upright and never dipped.
- Respectful Use: The flag should not be used as decoration, or part of a costume, uniform, or accessory.
