Regulations -
The Bharat Ratna is conferred
"in recognition of exceptional service/performance of the highest order
and was originally confined to the arts, literature, science and public
services, per the 1954 regulations. But, in December 2011, the rules were changed
to include "any field of human endeavour". The 1954 statutes also did
not allow posthumous awards but this was subsequently modified in the January
1955 statute and Lal Bahadur Shastri became the first recipient to be honoured
posthumously in 1966.
Although there is no formal
nomination process, recommendations for the award can only be made by the Prime
Minister of India to the President with a maximum number of 3 nominees being
awarded per year. The recipient receives a Sanad (certificate) signed by the
President and a medallion without any monetary grant. Under the terms of
Article 18 (1) of the Constitution of India, the recipients cannot use the
award as a prefix or suffix to their name, although recipients may use either
the expressions "Awarded Bharat Ratna by the President" or
"Recipient of Bharat Ratna Award" to indicate that they have been
honoured with the award. The holders of the Bharat Ratna rank 7th in the Indian
order of precedence.
As with many official
announcements, recipients are announced and registered in The Gazette of India,
a publication released by the Department of Publication, Ministry of Urban
Development used for official government notices; without publication in the
Gazette, conferral of the award is not considered official. Recipients whose
awards have been revoked or restored, both of which require the authority of
the President, are also registered in the Gazette. Recipients whose awards have
been revoked are required to surrender their medal, and their name to be struck
from the register.
Specifications -
The original 1954
specifications of the award was a circle made of gold 1 3⁄8 inches (35 mm) in
diameter with a centred sun burst design on the obverse side. The text
"Bharat Ratna", in Devanagari Script, is inscribed on the upper edge
in silver gilt with a wreath set along on the lower edge. A platinum Emblem of
India was placed in the centre of the reverse side with the national motto of
India, "Satyameva Jayate" (Truth alone triumphs) in Devanagari
Script, inscribed in silver-gilt on the lower edge.
A year later, however, the
design was modified to the form that is currently in use. The current medal is
in the shape of a Peepal leaf, about 2 5⁄16 inches (59 mm) long, 1 7⁄8 inches
(48 mm) wide and 1⁄8 inch (3.2 mm) thick and rimmed in platinum. The embossed
sun burst design, also made of platinum, on the obverse side of the medal has a
diameter of 5⁄8 inch (16 mm) with rays spreading out from 5⁄6 inch (21 mm) to
1⁄2 inch (13 mm) from the center of the Sun. The words "Bharat Ratna"
on the obverse side remained the same as the 1954 design as did the emblem of
India and "Satyameva Jayate" on the reverse side. A 2-inch-wide (51
mm) white ribbon is attached to the medal so it can be worn around the neck. In
1957, the silver-gilt decoration was changed to burnished bronze.
Entitlements -
State Governments have been
advised to declare Bharat Ratna awardees as state guests during their travel
within India in states:
Whenever a Bharat Ratna awardee
would travel in India, he would be considered a VVIP and would be accorded the
best of the treatment as laid down by the rules in the state of visit. Every
state has prescribed rules for providing facilities to visitors designated as
State Guests. These rules cover various provisions required for the purpose of
reception, transport, boarding and lodging for such guests. A special budgetary
provision is generally kept for such visits and a separate department which
deals with protocols is designated to handle requirements.
Indian Missions abroad would
provide proper facilitation as and when requested by awardees on their visits
abroad:
The Ministry of External
affairs in India advises its embassies and other mission across the world about
the protocols and privileges associated with visits of various dignitaries. Awardees
would be considered a VVIP as per Indian standards and would be accorded
preferential treatment at Indian missions and would be provided due facilities
and support as requested. Preferably their visits and itineraries are advised
to relevant missions and the awardees may be received at the airports /
entry-points by designated personnel. Embassies / missions would be expected to
make arrangements for boarding / lodging and transportation for these guests.
They are entitled for
Diplomatic passports:
Diplomatic Passport is a
special category of passports which is issued to Indian diplomats, top ranking
government officials and diplomatic couriers. Such passports have maroon cover
to distinguish them from other categories and carry certain level of privileges
with them. Carriers of these passports are generally provided preferential
treatment at most of the airports across the world including a separate
immigration counter and lounge access by airlines. Individuals with these
passports are considered representative of the country and special protocols
are attached to these accordingly.
They are figured in column 7A
of the Table of Precedence:
The Bharat Ratna awardees are
placed along with union cabinet ministers and state chief ministers in the
order of precedence of Republic of India. There are at any point of time on 6
people apart from former presidents of India who are above a Bharat Ratna
awardee in the list. The order is established by the President of India,
through the Office of the President of India and is maintained by the Ministry
of Home Affairs. The position entitles the awardees special rights including
those of being invited for all the functions organized by the government for
celebration of national festivals.
They are entitled for lifetime
free executive class travel on Air India:
The award comes with a lifelong
privilege to travel on the governmental carrier within India and abroad. Though
a relatively less important benefit, but it still has considerable financial
implications. Special vouchers are issued by Air India on request of the
awardees and tickets are generated against those vouchers.
Apart from these, the
government maintains that there are no monetary benefits or pensions associated
with Bharat Ratna.
