Flying a Drone or UAV is not illegal in India. You need prior permission for the purpose of flying a drone. In fact, drones are used so widely in India:

Flying of Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) or in like manner speech, rambles, will be lawful across India from December 1. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has settled a national automaton arrangement, and has fixed parameters - including stature - for ramble flights. From the beginning the strategy plots a No Drone Zones.

Yes, flying drones in India is legal, as long as you strictly adhere to all regulations. Operating without proper authorization, particularly in restricted areas, can result in severe penalties, including hefty fines, equipment seizure, and potential legal action. 

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is the central aviation regulator for civilian drones in India. All licenses, registrations, and permissions are issued or monitored through the DGCA’s Digital Sky Platform. There are certain Compliances and Requirements to legally fly drones in India, including obtaining a valid license, registering the drone, and adhering to specific operational guidelines set by the DGCA.
