Government & Statutory Public Notice Ads Tender • SARFAESI • Land Acquisition • Environmental

There are various laws that require statutory publication in the newspapers. Some of them are: GFR Rule 175 (government tenders), SARFAESI Act 2002 Sections 13(2) and 13(4) (bank recovery / auction notices), RFCTLARR Act 2013 Section 11 (land acquisition), EIA Notification 2006 (environmental clearance public hearings), Companies Act 2013 / IBC (NCLT notices) and acts of municipal corporations, specific to the state. In both laws, there are requirements on the number of newspapers, language requirements, and advance notice periods.

Where SARFAESI notices are applicable in Mumbai, notices placed in popular newspapers like Times of Indian and Indian Express and in Free Press Journal (English) and Maharashtra Times, Lokmat, Sakal (Marathi) are accepted by the courts and DRAT (Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal). The courts have invalidated SARFAESI activities in which the notice was published in non-widely-read papers. RiYO Advertising only publishes the SARFAESI in the widely-circulated newspapers that are accepted by the courts.

SARFAESI Act and Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules 2002 provides that an Authorised Officer is required to announce the auction sale in two daily newspapers, which are widely read in the area of the security property and are one in English language as well as one in a regional language. The number of inserts placed in the newspaper is usually one (2 in total). Nonetheless, in high-value properties, most banks will place many publications in three or more newspapers in order to guarantee extensive publicity and minimize chances of legal objection.

Government departments purchasing more than 25 lakh are obliged by GFR (General Financial Rules) Rule 175 and CVC Office Memoranda to post NIT ( Notice Inviting Tender ) in at least one nationwide newspaper (English) and one regional newspaper at least 15 days before the final date of receiving the bids. Publication in the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) is also required in case of procurement exceeding 2.5 crore. Similar rules are found in State GFRs of the state governments.

According to EIA Notification 2006, a project proponent who seeks environmental clearance is required to put a notice regarding the public hearing in one English newspaper and one vernacular (regional language) newspaper at least 30 days prior to the designated date of the public hearing. The notice should include the name of the project, the place where it will be located, nature of the project, date, and venue of the public hearing, and the ways of accessing the report on the EIA. MoEF / SEIAA reviews this notice during the EC application.

No. The majority of statutory notice requirements require that a notice be published in both an English newspaper and a regional language newspaper. Most state procurement regulations (GFR, SARFAESI Act, EIA Notification, and a majority of state procurement regulations) state that it is one widely-circulated English newspaper and one widely-circulated regional language newspaper. The acts of municipal corporations usually make the use of the regional language (Marathi, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, etc.) as the daily one, providing English as the complement. RiYO Advertising packages together and buys it.
