Use of four-lion ashoka symbol

Who is allowed to use the four-lion ashoka symbol (that appears on currency notes, govt documents etc)?

 

For example, if a person is employed in any official capacity for a state govt, can he automatically use this symbol on his visiting card, car number plate etc?

 

Thanks in advance for your reply.

The Lion Ashoka symbol is not a decorative symbol.

Alas, I have seen visiting cards of lot of state government top officers using the ashoka symbol.

Thank you, learned friends, for these replies. Can you please tell me also what is the punishment for such offences and how the matter can be brought before the courts?

 

Looking forward to your replies
