What is the correct way to salute the Indian flag?

[JollyReddy]

There are three salutes in India:

This is the salute that the Army, the Central Armed Police Forces, the State Police Forces, the NCC, and any other uniformed personnel not mentioned use this salute!

This is the Navy and The Coast Guard Salute. This is used by both of these and any uniformed sea-faring service.

Finally, this is used only by the Air Force

Finally; THE MOST IMPORTANT!!

Civilians are not allowed to salute the flag. They are supposed to be standing at attention. In fact, no person without uniform is allowed to salute the flag. Even people with uniform should have a cover(headgear) to salute the flag.

However, this civilian rule is not enforceable and many people ape the uniformed personnel in their salutes.

BUT CIVILIANS SHOULD NOT SALUTE THE FLAG, INSTEAD STAND AT ATTENTION.

early days lo navy officers hands eppudu oil tho dirty ga undevani kindaki pettevaallu. tarvatha adi vaalla salute aindi. airforce wanted to be distinct so 45 degrees lo start chesaru. army salute was the initial one. rest all evolved over time.
