Step 1: Register on Press Sewa Portal
Visit the official Press Sewa Portal and create an account. Publishers need to provide basic details such as publication name, RNI registration number, email ID, and contact information. Ensure that the details match your original RNI registration records.
Step 2: Login and Access Annual Statement Form
After registration, log in using your credentials. Navigate to the “Annual Statement” section under the e-filing menu. Here, you will find forms specific to the type of publication—daily, weekly, monthly, or periodical.
Step 3: Fill in Publication Details
Accurately fill in details about your publication, including the editor’s name, publisher’s information, frequency of publication, circulation numbers, and printing press details. Double-check all information as discrepancies can lead to rejection of your filing.
Step 4: Upload Required Documents
Attach the necessary documents such as a copy of the RNI certificate, publisher and editor affidavits, circulation certificate, and previous year’s annual statement (if applicable). Ensure that all files are in the prescribed format and size.
Step 5: Review and Verify
Before submission, review all entries carefully. The portal allows verification of details, so take advantage of this feature to correct any errors. Accuracy is vital to avoid notices or fines from RNI.
Step 6: Submit and Acknowledge
Once all information and documents are correctly filled, submit the form. You will receive an acknowledgment receipt with a unique reference number. Keep this receipt safely as proof of your e-filing.
Step 7: Follow Up if Required
In case RNI requires clarifications or additional documents, you can track your submission through the Press Sewa Portal. Respond promptly to any queries to ensure your annual statement is accepted without delay.
Filing the RNI Annual Statement via Press Sewa Portal is now more convenient than ever, saving time and reducing administrative burden for publishers. Compliance ensures your publication remains legally valid and avoids potential fines.
