What are those documents? Answer to that question and the exact nature of those documents is the reason we are presenting you this blog today.
What is the process of newspaper registration in India?
Before jumping into the documents that justify the RNI registration cost, let’s discuss the process itself.
There are two stages of newspaper registration in India.
At the first stage, you reserve a suitable title for your newspaper. The procedure for title registration entails the following steps:
- You go online and file the application for newspaper registration.
- Despite it being the first stage, it’s here that you completely pay the RNI registration charges.
- You attach the required documents needed by the Registrar of Newspaper to process your application.
- After you’ve filed your application online, you take its printout.
- You forward this printout and deposit it, alongside hardcopies of the documents, to the government media head appointed in your state. It can be SDM/JSM or other officials.
- When that media head approves of your newspaper title, you get RNI title verification letter.
Once you’ve gotten approval to use the title of the newspaper, you have to do the same for its content.
- Make a declaration that you’ve obtained title approval
- Send the declaration to the government media official appointed in your state to get it authenticated.
- Submit the authenticated declaration, along with the documents to the Office of Registrar of Newspapers.
- Publish your first copy as per the guidelines of office of RNI. They state that if your newspaper is going to published weekly or daily, you have to submit your first copy within 42 days after submitting the declaration. In case your newspaper is to be published daily or fortnightly, you’ll have to publish the first copy within 90 days after submission of declaration.
