Disposal of confiscated drones: transfer to defence and security agencies free-of-cost subject to regulatory compliance. Guidelines require confiscated drones to be inventoried, DGCA-classified and transferred when 'ripe for disposal' to four focal Customs Commissionerates for centralised stocking, joint inspection and distribution. DRI and Customs field formation needs are met first; remaining stock is allocated equally to the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Home Affairs after nodal-officer joint inspections. Transfers are on a gratis, as-is where-is basis; recipients must ensure DGCA and WPC compliance, provide documentation, and are prohibited from reselling drones, which must be destroyed at end-of-life. Records and acknowledgements are mandatory.
