The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has invited comments and suggestions on the draft Press and Registration of Periodicals Rules, 2024, which have been proposed to be notified to implement the provisions of the Press and Registration of Periodicals Act, 2023, as notified on December 29 last year.
The last date for submission of comments or suggestions is February 4, 2024, said the notice issued by the Ministry, which also listed salient features of the Act.
The law provides for a simple online mechanism to apply for title verification and grant of certificate of registration by the Press Registrar General to a periodical as a simultaneous process. There is no requirement of furnishing any declaration before the local authority or its authentication by the local authority.
