The statement "The National Calendar of India based on Saka era has its 1st Chaitra on 22nd March normally and 21st March in a leap year" is not correct.

The National Calendar of India, also known as the Saka calendar, follows the Saka era, which begins from 78 AD. According to this calendar, the first month is Chaitra, but it does not always start on 22nd March or 21st March in a leap year.

The Saka calendar typically has its first day of Chaitra falling on 22nd March in a normal year, but it can vary due to the occurrence of leap years. In a leap year, the first day of Chaitra falls on 21st March. The exact dates may vary depending on the specific year and the corresponding astronomical calculations.

Therefore, the statement "The National Calendar of India based on Saka era has its 1st Chaitra on 22nd March normally and 21st March in a leap year" is not correct.
