24 Parallel Line:Claimed by Pakistan for demarcation between India and Pakistan but India do not recognize it.


Line of Control (LOC): It is the military control line between the Indian and Pakistan. Originally known as the "Cease-fire Line", it was re-designated as the "Line of Control" following the Simla Agreement, which was signed on 3 July 1972.

Line of Actual Control (LAC): separates the Indian-controlled state of Jammu and Kashmir from the Chinese-controlled area known as Aksai Chin.
