Maximum Height allowed for Indian Air Force pilot

[Poseidon]

Hi guys,
I have just heard that IAF doesn't accept candidates taller than 190 cm.
Is that true?
Also any chances of height restrictions being loosened by 2 cm i.e. to 192 cm?

Also is there any max height limit for army and navy?

Man I will be sad to know that not only I am ineligible for F1 driver and astronaut but also for fighter pilot.

I think excessive height is also a norm for disqualification.
Why not try athletics, football or fast bowling?
