Newdelhi:3/8/23:The Press and Registration of Periodicals Bill, 2023, got passed unanimously today in the Upper House. This bill, which rids us of the colonial mindset, is a dynamic step towards promoting transparency, ease of doing business and freedom of the press. Earlier, the process, which took around 2–3 years and required the physical presence of the person in front of the District Magistrate and in Delhi for registration & renewal, will now be reduced to just 60 days and the entire process can be completed online.
By August, the portal will be launched, which will ensure simple, simultaneous & strengthening of this process. It will be a significant step towards our quest for DigitalIndia. This bill, while ensuring freedom of the press, will also promote many budding writers who can freely express themselves on a variety of issues. This bill is in sync with the modern landscape and the commitment of Hon’ble PM ji to minimum government, maximum governance
