Things That Are Completely Illegal In India, But Are Still Out There

Being a democratic country, India is a nation that is also famous for breaking the rules. There are so many new rules that come up each day, and there are those who are a perfectionist when it is all about breaking the rules! Here, in this article, we are sharing the details of some of the banned things in India, but the ban of these things makes us wonder if they are only for the records or are they really banned!

Gmail

It sound’s weird, but it’s true Govt. of India banned Gmail in all govt. offices. The government wants to monitor staff activity, that’s why they’ve banned Gmail. NIC (National Informatics Centre) launched their own e-mail service for all govt. employees and offices. Because govt. think that by using these third party email service providers, would be risk of data breaches. Because these service providers park all their data in foreign (Their servers are located in foreign countries) So it’s not good for govt. officials.

If you find money lying around that’s more than 10 rupees, you’re committing a crime by not reporting it.

Yes if you find money more than 10 rupees and you keep this money and didn’t reported to police about it, then it’s crime. According to the Treasure Trove Act of 1878 any treasure you find belongs to the Govt. But if it’s less than rupees 10, you can keep it. If it’s of a higher amount, you have to report it to the authorities.

Flying a kite without permit

Yes it’s banned in India to fly any object in sky without permission. According to the Indian Aircraft Act of 1934 which says you need a permit or a license to fly a plane, you also need a similar permit to fly a kite.

Child Labour

You see many children roadside restaurants, coffee bars, carports, shops and all around. But it’s banned in India. The Child Labor (Prohibition and Regulation) Act was executed in 1986 and extended in 2006 and 2008. Be that as it may, it didn’t assist much with changing the scene of child labour in the nation. Although it’s banned but it’s still exists in India because of poverty.

Ban on Tobacco

The Delhi Government ban on sale and use of tobacco came into effect on April 13 this year. While the ban is imposed for one year, it extends to the manufacture, purchase and storage of tobacco-infused gutka, paan masala etc. Tobacco causes oral cancer. So this ban could save the lives of million of people.

Porn

Hon’ble High Court of Uttarakhand asked the Center Govt. to impose a strict ban on pornographic websites. Then Ministry of Communication and DOT (Department of Telecommunications) directed the Internet service providers to impose this ban if they didn’t obey this guideline then they can lose their license. This is the second attempt of Indian Govt. to ban porn in country. In August 2015, following a Supreme Court verdict, the government had unsuccessfully tried to block some 857 websites on the grounds that such content promotes sexual assault. But during this time ban people are still accessing these sites via VPN’s etc.

Selling Backyard Brewed Alcohol

The issue with illicit alcohol is that they frequently contain battery acids, compound solvents, and methyl liquor which can prove to be fatal to humans. The laws against the offering of such liquors are strict in India, yet the business is a flourishing one. People who are poor are addicted to these cheap alcohols, and the number of deaths caused by desi daru consistently is nothing less than a shock.

Red Light Areas

Each city has it. The red light regions related to the sex business are flourishing alongside other anti-social activities with least interference from the authorities. Unlicensed prostitution, mishandling, and sex-rackets are only a piece of the normal daily existence in these regions. Youngsters are conceived in houses of ill-repute, grow up with whores and pimps, and it looks like it will continue in the more extended run.

Piracy

This is one of those illicit exercises that we wouldn’t fret by any stretch of the imagination. The free music industry has relatively vanished in India since record names are not by any stretch of the imagination excited about marking performers whose collections can be just replicated and sold in the markets without the name getting any cash. Bollywood also faces the brunt of the prospering robbery industry and investigations have demonstrated that the misfortune caused is about Rs 16,000 crores. A report has additionally said the loss is more than 800,000 employed in media outlets as an impact of the piracy.
