The Soviet-era twin engine turboprop transport aircraft had gone missing on June 3 while flying from Assam's Jorhat to Mechuka in Arunachal Pradesh.
The authorities had a tough time finding the wreckage amid bad weather and difficult terrain.
The wreckage was finally found on Tuesday, eight days after the plane disappeared, in the mountains at a height of around 12,000 feet.
