    Indian order of

    precedence

    The order of precedence of the Republic of


    India is the protocol list[1] (hierarchy of
    important positions) in which the
    functionaries, dignitaries and officials are
    listed according to their rank and office in
    the Government of India. The order is
    established by the President of India,
    through the President's Secretariat and is
    maintained by the Ministry of Home
    Affairs. It is only used to indicate
    ceremonial protocol and has no legal
    standing and does not reflect the Indian
    presidential line of succession or the co-
    equal status of the separation of powers
    under the constitution. It is not applicable
    for the day-to-day functioning of the
    Government of India.
