Miscellaneous & General Knowledge › Important Days, Places & Events
Which one of the following statements with regard to carrying power banks for mobile phones and dry cells in flight is correct?
Explanation
According to the safety regulations issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India, the following rules apply:
- Power Banks: These contain lithium-ion batteries, which are considered hazardous materials due to their potential to overheat or catch fire. Consequently, they are strictly prohibited in registered (checked-in) baggage but are permitted to be carried in cabin (hand) baggage.
- Dry Cells: While standard dry cell batteries (like AA or AAA) are generally permitted in checked baggage, they have historically been restricted or scrutinized in cabin baggage by security agencies (CISF) at Indian airports to prevent their use in improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Therefore, statement C is the most accurate and definitive rule under aviation security protocols.
