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/ .
It doesn't show up on search, but try http://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecounter.php?id=121

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 now).
I tried to make a list, but whois rate limits are annoying...

There's also lots of shady sites that have been entered and removed from the list but are still linked indirectly (doesn't show up search).
http://goidirectory.nic.in/sitecounter.php?id=10902 links to http://university.gen.in for eg, which is screaming SCAM.

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

The website for the #AatmaNirbharBharat does not live at .gov.in, but at http://transformingindia.mygov.in , which makes things tricky, because http://mygov.in isn'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/ ), which itself notes (2.2.1)
>Website is registered under â http://gov.in â or â http://nic.in â domain.
And then we get these:

And then we get these:
Here's a summary list of what all public suffixes GoI is using, with a count for each.
