Under clause 13 of the Print Media Advertisement Policy of the government, all newspapers empanelled with DAVP shall submit the monthly copies to the body on or before 15th of the subsequent month failing which advertisements shall be stopped to that newspaper.
The government has decided to extend the relaxation in the submission of monthly issues for the month of April 2020 which is scheduled in the month of May 2020 (1st to 15th May 2020) in view of the countrywide lockdown due to COVID-19, a government advisory said.
