How to Book a Public Notice Ad in Business Standard: The Complete Guide
Last year, I received a call from a CA in Thane. He was asking why his client could not have his public notice published in a Gazette matter. The ad had run. The article was valid. The issue was the edition.
He had reserved the Pune issue of a national daily where the case had to be published in a paper which has the necessary circulation in the jurisdiction. A single false choice of editions. Entire notice invalidated. I had to run again.
Such is the type of error that costs even more than the initial advertisement. And it's avoidable. This guide takes you through what Business Standard public notice advertising actually looks like in practice, who should use it, the cost, and how Riyo Advertising makes the booking process fast and reliable.
Why Business Standard for a Public Notice?
All public notices do not have to be published in Business Standard. That is the straightforward answer. Neither a national business daily is necessary when it comes to a name change announcement or a lost document announcement.
But some do. Business Standard is published in 12 regional centres: Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Pune, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar, and Kochi and has a readership of more than 1,000 towns and cities in India.
That pan-Indian footprint, coupled with the corporate, legal, and financial reader credibility of Business Standard is why it is the right publication to place a particular set of notices:
Business Standard has 15 million unique visitors every month online and is widely regarded as one of India's most trusted business publications.
Who Is Actually Reading Business Standard?
Business Standard is a popular read amongst corporate executives, business leaders, investors, and policymakers. Readers are focused on financial news, corporate governance, and economic policy.
For a public notice ad that needs to reach corporate creditors, shareholders, legal professionals, or government procurement officers, Business Standard is the right vehicle.
Business Standard Ad Formats and Rates
Advertisement rates begin at ₹250 to 15 lakhs based on your advertisement and the city. Rates shift quarterly (Indicative as of April 2026).

Types of Public Notice Ads Business Standard Accepts
Business Standard is one of the prescribed publications for many statutory requirements across sectors:
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Wrong Jurisdiction: Booking only one edition when a nationwide or specific regional notice is required. This can nullify the notice.
❌ Wrong Format: Using Display when Classified Text was legally sufficient, or vice-versa. Certain statutory notices MUST be in classified format.
❌ Ignoring Deadlines: Late submission means missing IBC or court dates. Always book 48 hours in advance.
❌ No Proof: Failing to retain the soft copy clipping for legal filing. Riyo sends this via email.
