The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Rules 2021, which went into effect on March 12 of this year, will be updated by these new rules.</p>

<p>As per the government, the guidelines have eliminated the need for different clearances, such as certificate of conformity, certificate of maintenance, import clearance, acceptance of existing drones, operator licenses, authorization of R&amp;D organizations, and student remote pilot licenses.</p>
