Explanation:

Recently, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has notified the draft Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Rules, 2020 under which it prohibiting “carriage of payload” as well as “dropping of articles” by unmanned aerial vehicles.

The rules state that “no person other than a Qualified Remote Pilot ‘under these rules shall operate a UAS in India except the Nano class of UA.” Nano Unmanned Aircraft weigh less than or equal to 250 grams. Hence statement 1st is incorrect.

An individual who is— (a) a citizen of India, and (b) 18 years of age or more; or a company or a body corporate provided that— (a) it is registered and has its principal place of business within India, and(b) the Chairman and at least two-thirds of its directors are citizens of India.
