India was asked to take back one helicopter, deployed in Addu atoll, in April.
The Times of India said the letter of exchange for the second helicopter expired at the end of May and that India has been asked to remove it from Laamu atoll.
An Indian High Commission source confirmed to the Maldives Independent the government has given India until the end of June to remove the aircraft from the Maldives.
