NEWSPAPERS ANNUAL STATEMENT ON FINANCIAL YEAR BASIS
The newspapers will now submit their
annual statements to the Registrar of Newspapers for India on
the basis of financial year instead of calendar year. Amendment
to this effect has been recently notified by the Ministry of Information
and Broadcasting. As a result of this amendment the next Annual
Statements to be submitted will cover the period from 1st
April 2002 to 31st March 2003.
This amendment has been effected
in view of the demand made by newspapers to avoid preparation
of two annual statements, one for RNI and other for other authorities.
Statements showing number of
days of publication and circulation of newspaper, prescribed in
Form-II has also been accordingly amended. These statement will
now cover the period from April to March next year.
