Press and Registration of Periodicals Bill 2023 | Indepth | Drishti IAS

After being passed in the Rajya Sabha on August 3 amid uproar from the Opposition, the Press and Registration of Periodicals Bill, 2023, was passed in the Lok Sabha on December 21.Seeking to repeal the Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867, the Bill contains a unique provision disallowing persons convicted of terrorist acts or unlawful activities, or those who have acted against state security, from publishing periodicals. A periodical means any publication, barring books or journals, that is printed at regular intervals and contains public news or comments on public news. According to the Bill’s Statement of Objects & Reasons, it has been passed for three reasons. The first is “ease of doing business.” Second, it intends to remove “unnecessary procedural obstacles” for publishers. Finally, it seeks to “unburden” the publishers and printing press owners from furnishing a declaration before the District Magistrate (DM) and filing a revised declaration every time there’s a change in its particulars. Introducing the Bill in the Lok Sabha, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur said efforts have been made to decriminalize the colonial-era statute by replacing conviction with financial penalties for certain violations. Stressing the ease of doing business aspect, he added that the title registration process, which sometimes took 2-3 years, will now be done in 60 days. The 1867 Act was enacted for the regulation of printing presses and newspapers, the preservation of copies of books and newspapers printed in India, and their registration. The 2023 Bill seeks to decriminalize the colonial-era statute by replacing jail terms with fines and providing for an appellate mechanism headed by the Chairman of the Press Council of India. The Appellate Board (Press and Registration Appellate Board) will comprise, alongside the PCI chairman, two PCI members and hear appeals against refusal of registration, imposition of penalties, suspension, or cancellation of registration. The new Bill shifts all the power from the DM’s hands to the Press Registrar General, a newly created position. Although the 1867 Act included a “Press Registrar” or a “Registrar of newspapers for India” appointed by the Centre, its powers were limited, unlike the PRG’s under the new law.
