There shall be no commercial exploitation of the national anthem to give financial advantage or any kind of benefit;
There shall not be dramatisation of the national anthem and it should not be included as a part of any variety show, as when it is sung or played, it is imperative on the part of every one present to show due respect and honour;
To think of a dramatised exhibition of the national anthem is absolutely inconceivable; and
The national anthem or a part of it shall not be printed on any object and also never be displayed in such a manner at such places which may be disgraceful to its status and tantamount to disrespect.
