What happens if the Press Registrar General decides not to grant registration and what steps can the publisher take?

If the Press Registrar General decides not to grant registration, an online communication is issued to the publisher specifying the reasons. The publisher has ten days to submit a reply on the Press Sewa Portal. The Press Registrar General, after considering the reply, may either grant or refuse registration. If registration is refused, a speaking order specifying the grounds is sent to the publisher on the Press Sewa Portal.
