Section 92(7) in The Naval Ceremonial, Conditions Of Service And Miscellaneous Regulations, 1964
(7)All officers of the Government Diplomatic and other services who are entitled to salute of 11 guns or more shall be received on board Indian Naval Ships with the "alert". It is, however, quite proper for ships' companies to be called to attention by pipe, when junior Indian Representatives pay official visits and this should be done when the Senior Naval Officer present considers that Indian prestige will be enhanced thereby.
