Types of Times of India Classified Ads — Which Format Is Right for You?

What Is a Classified Text Ad in TOI?

The easiest and the cheapest type of text ad is a classified text ad. The ad is placed in the classified section of the newspaper in plain formatted text that is amid other ads in the classified section. It is billed on word basis -that is, shorter and tightly written ads are cheaper. It does not have any borders, images, or any other custom design features, except some options of bold texts in some categories.

When you have a simple message and the main focus of your message is legal or making contact with the audience that reads the classified section of the newspaper in question, then classified text should be used. Classified text format works well with name change notices, lost document notices, obituary notices and short property listings.

What Is a Classified Display Ad in TOI?

A classified display advertisement is featured in the same part of the classified section as text adverts but with a much greater amount of visual impact. It contains a delimitated border, a customized heading, and has the option of containing your company logo or a property photograph. It is billed by square centimetre - i.e. the price is based on the size of your advertisement, not the number of words.

The right choice is classified display where the visibility in the classified section is of concern. An advertisement to fill a high-level job, an advertisement of a luxury home, an advertisement of a marriage that requests to have a photograph, or a corporate business announcement that should be highlighted, all of them will be better with the display format. Display ads are the first to be noticed by the readers of the classified section.

The practical rule: If your priority is legal compliance at the lowest cost, choose classified text. If your priority is response rate and visibility, choose a classified display.

Times of India Classified Ad Categories — Complete 2026 Guide

Matrimonial Ads in Times of India

The TOI matrimonial section is one of the most actively read classified sections in English-language publishing in India. Families across all communities — across all major Indian cities and internationally — read TOI matrimonial listings as part of their search process alongside online portals.

What makes TOI matrimonial ads effective is the quality of the readership. The Times of India's audience demographic — educated, urban, English-speaking — maps directly onto the profile of families conducting serious matrimonial searches. A well-drafted TOI matrimonial ad reaches exactly the right people.

What to include in a TOI matrimonial classified text ad: Community and subcommunity if relevant, candidate's age and date of birth, educational qualifications, current profession and approximate income range if comfortable sharing, current city of residence, whether the candidate is open to relocating, any specific requirements regarding the match, and a contact number or email address. A tight, well-written matrimonial ad runs 25 to 35 words and costs approximately ₹2,125 to ₹3,850 in the Bangalore edition.

For display format matrimonial ads, a photograph can be included and the ad occupies significantly more space — strongly recommended for families who want maximum visibility.

TOI matrimonial ad rates 2026: ₹85 to ₹110 per word, Bangalore edition. Contact public-noticeads.in for multi-edition rates covering Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad simultaneously.

Name Change Ads in Times of India

Times of India name change advertisement is not an option, it is rather a compulsory legal process of any individual who amends the name in their passport, Aadhaar, PAN card, or any other document issued by the government in India. The official public record of the name change that is needed by government authorities and institutions is generated by the published notice.

Residents of Karnataka are required to comply with a TOI name change advertisement with a Kannada newspaper (Prajavani or Vijayavani) to meet Karnataka Gazette. public-noticeads.in takes this entire package as a one booking, which includes TOI plus Kannada newspaper plus Karnataka Gazette coordination.

What a TOI name change ad must include: Your old full legal name, your new full legal name, your complete residential address, a formal declaration that you are changing your name for all purposes with effect from a specified date, and an invitation for anyone with an objection to respond in writing within thirty days.

TOI name change ad rates 2026: ₹90 to ₹115 per word for classified text in the Bangalore edition. A complete name change notice typically runs 25 to 35 words — budget ₹2,250 to ₹4,025 for TOI Bangalore alone. The complete English plus Kannada plus Gazette package through public-noticeads.in starts at ₹4,200.

public-noticeads.in tip: Book your TOI name change ad at least four weeks before your passport appointment. The gazette process takes 20 to 30 working days and the passport office will ask for both the newspaper cuttings and the gazette PDF.

Property Ads in Times of India

The property classified section of the Times of India is an active newspaper being read by buyers, investors, tenants, and property consultants in Bangalore and in all other major metros of India. TOI property classified advertisement provides a qualified market to sellers and landlords who are targeting the English-speaking and urban consumers, especially those in the high-end residential areas of Bangalore, which effectively fits the profile of serious buyers.

For sale ads should include: Property type (flat, villa, plot, commercial space), exact location, total area in square feet or square yards, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, key features (parking, amenities, furnishing status), asking price or "price on request," and contact details.

For rental ads include: Monthly rent, security deposit requirement, property type and size, location, furnishing status, and availability date.

Display format is strongly recommended for property listings above ₹50 lakhs. A display ad with a photograph in TOI's property section generates significantly higher inquiry rates than a plain text listing of the same property.

Effective TOI recruitment classified text ads include: Job title clearly stated at the start, company name (if sharing), key qualifications and experience required, location and remote work policy if applicable, and clear application instructions — email address, reference number, or website link. Keep it to 30 to 45 words for classified text.

For classified display recruitment ads, include your company logo. Display format with a logo increases response rates measurably over plain text for most corporate recruitment categories.

Obituary Ads in Times of India

A death notice in the Times of India represents the official notice of the family of a death to the community at large, including professionals, work contacts, extended families, and communities, who might have been unaware of the death.

Ads on TOI obituary are read carefully. The audience consists of individuals interested in knowing and the manner in which the announcement is made will determine the reception of the announcement. TOI has published a well-written, dignified obituary that does well to reflect on the family and the person being remembered.

Standard elements of a TOI obituary classified ad: Full name of the deceased, beloved spouse, father, mother, or family role as applicable, dates of birth and passing, surviving family members, and details of the funeral or memorial service including date, time, and venue.
