As per Section 6 of the Press and Registration of Periodicals Rules, 2024 (Revision of the particulars of Certificate of Registration), a publisher seeking revision must apply on the Press Sewa Portal, along with the prescribed documents and a fee of ₹1,000, payable via Bharat Kosh.
The revisions that may be requested and allowed by the PRG include the following particulars:
- the title of the periodical (minor modifications are allowed);
- the editor of the periodical;
- the printing press of the periodical;
- the place of publication of the periodical within the State or Union Territory;

Note: If the change of place of publication results in a change of jurisdiction of the specified authority, the PRG will, within 60 days of receiving the application, seek comments from the specified authority of the new place of publication.
Note: If the owner of a registered periodical intends to change the publisher, the new publisher must submit an application for a Revised Certificate of Registration, and all the provisions under Rule 5 shall apply (Rule 5 of the Press and Registration of Periodicals Rules, 2024).
