Press Sewa Portal
The Press Sewa Portal, introduced under the Press and Registration of Periodicals Act, 2023 by the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, is a digital platform designed to streamline the registration and regulation of periodicals in India. It mandates publishers to upload e-versions of their publications within 48 hours and submit physical copies monthly to the Press Information Bureau. Aimed at modernizing the process and making it more efficient, the portal also allows for faceless audits and inspections by the Press Registrar General. While it promises operational efficiency and transparency, concerns have been raised about its potential impact on press freedom.
