The Bureau of Indian Standards supports its own encoding standard, established by 1991 ([1]), which provides an 8-bit encoding using escape sequences to announce the language of the following coded character sequence. Modifications were proposed in 1997, but were not adopted. ([2], see "Annex A")
Differences between PDF and actual standard
The PDF warns:

The purpose is to convey the information only and no reference should be made to this soft copy as a standard document. Annex G and H are not included in this soft copy. The original document is available from the following address (Group LTD-37)
