The gazette notification introduces the Government of India (Allocation of Business) (Three Hundred and Seventy-second Amendment) Rules, 2023. These rules amend the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, specifically concerning the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
Key Changes
The definition of entry 22A under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is updated to include 'content' and 'publishers'. The original entry read: “22A. Films and Audio-Visual programmes made available by online content providers.” The updated entry now reads: “22A. Films and Audio-Visual programmes/content made available by online content providers/publishers.”
A new entry, 22C, is inserted after entry 22B, which states: “22C. Online advertisements.”
These rules came into force immediately on July 28, 2023.
Impact Analysis
Online Content Providers/Publishers
This inclusion might lead to increased scrutiny and regulation of their content.
Advertisers
This could lead to changes in advertising practices and increased compliance costs.
Ministry of Information and Broadcasting
This expansion requires the Ministry to develop expertise and resources to effectively regulate these areas.
Consumers
These changes may result in more regulated and potentially safer online experiences.
