Was reviewing my list of GoI websites. Listed them out by their public suffix to see the usage stats.
Found some fun ones, and a few shady ones.

For some reason, GoI Directory has the website for Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab, Pakistan http://www.tdcp.gop.pk/ .">https://www.tdcp.gop.pk/">...
It doesn& #39;t show up on search, but try http://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecounter.php?id=121">https://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecount...

Some embassies use the TLD for the host country. Which means the registration/renewal process is likely very cumbersome and many of them are up for grabs. (Most seem to have switched to http://gov.in"> http://gov.in now).
I tried to make a list, but whois rate limits are annoying...

There& #39;s also lots of shady sites that have been entered and removed from the list but are still linked indirectly (doesn& #39;t show up search).
http://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecounter.php?id=10902">https://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecount... links to http://university.gen.in"> http://university.gen.in for eg, which is screaming SCAM.

DD was using http://ddsaptagiri.tv"> http://ddsaptagiri.tv officially.
Older documents still refer to the old domain (now hosting blogspam). So does the GoI Directory website: http://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecounter.php?id=8138">https://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecount...

The website for the #AatmaNirbharBharat does not live at .gov.in, but at http://transformingindia.mygov.in"> http://transformingindia.mygov.in , which makes things tricky, because http://mygov.in"> http://mygov.in isn& #39;t registered as a public suffix, but NIC is using it as if it were.
GoI publishes Guidelines for Indian Government websites ( https://web.guidelines.gov.in/ ),">https://web.guidelines.gov.in/">... which itself notes (2.2.1)
>Website is registered under â http://gov.in"> http://gov.in â or â http://nic.in"> http://nic.in â domain.
And then we get these:
>Website is registered under â http://gov.in"> http://gov.in â or â http://nic.in"> http://nic.in â domain.
And then we get these:
Here& #39;s a summary list of what all public suffixes GoI is using, with a count for each.
