India passed four acts and regulations from 1958 to 1973. An amendment in 1992 stipulates that business operations are not allowed within 100 meters of historic sites and are restricted between 100 meters and 300 meters.

Anyone convicted of a damaging act will be subject to a maximum fine of 5,000 rupees ($75.50), a three-month imprisonment, or both.
