1. Per the PRP Act 2023, only the publisher can file the annual statement. If the owner and publisher are the same person, the owner can proceed with filing the Annual statement. If the publisher and owner are different, then the owner will have to invite the publisher to file the annual statement.
  2. If the ownership is of a non-individual type, and the publisher and the applicant (on behalf of the owner) are the same, then the applicant/ publisher can file the statement. But if the publisher is different from the applicant, then the applicant will have to invite the publisher to file the annual statement.
