Draft PRP Act rules: Faceless circulation audit, reduced registration timelines
Periodicals getting or intending to get government The information and broadcasting ministry has proposed the rules days after the PRP Act was notified. They say the Press Registrar General can conduct or authorise central government officers for faceless and physical verification of circulation figures in case it receives some information, reference, or complaint against any periodical. The draft rules say printers must send an intimation to the PRG and the specified jurisdictional authority within 15 days of starting a printing press printing periodicals. An Indian entity will have to apply for a certificate of registration to the PRG via the PSP along with a ₹10,000 fee within 15 days of approval from the ministry. For a change in place of publication, the PRG will seek comments from the specified jurisdictional authority of the new location within 60 days and issue a revised certificate of registration accordingly.
