How to Book a Public Notice Ad – Step-by-Step Guide Mumbai 2026

Step 1 — Identify Your Notice Type and Prepare Basic Details

The initial action would be to determine clearly the type of public notice advertisement you require. Both types of notices have certain format requirements, the content elements required to be mandatory, and the supporting documents required, as well as the institutional acceptance criteria. This is something that should be done correctly at the beginning to avoid delay later.

To effect a name change through public notice: Designate your former name, new name, cause of change (marriage, personal, conversion, etc.), the date of the change shall become effective and your full present residence address. Write or draw up your notarized affidavit on 100 stamp paper in front or with the newspaper booking.

To make a property public notice: Get the complete address of the property, CTS or survey number, names of the buyer and the seller, the nature of the transaction (purchase, sale, redevelopment, transfer) and the period during which you want to object to the property (15 or 30 days). Bring your title deed, sale agreement or encumbrance certificate.

In the lost document notice: Type of document, the partial number or full (use the final 4 digits of sensitive document number Aadhaar or passport) at issuing authority, date and location of loss and your FIR or GD number in the police station where you reported a loss.

Corporate or ROC notice: Be ready with your company name, CIN, registered office address, DIN of the director signing the notice, reason why the notice is issued (you want to change the name of your company, change of office, change of AOA/MOA, dissolution), the name of the board resolution.

In case of a court-ordered notice: The court order should have the newspapers required, the number of insertions that are required, the content required and the deadline to publish. Send this to public-noticeads.in and we take care of everything thereafter.

Step 3 — Receive Your Free Ad Draft and Newspaper Recommendation

After receiving your information, public-noticeads.in does two things at once; it creates you a free draft of your public notice ads copy in the legally approved form of a notice of your type and to your target institution, and it provides you a customized newspaper proposal with a price breakdown.

Your ad draft will be arranged just as required by the institution - with the right legal wording, required declarations, reference numbers (affidavit number, FIR reference, court order reference), language to be used to objections and all your personal information will be presented as it will look like in print. Anything to be submitted to any newspaper will be first reviewed and approved by you before it is sent.

The best combination of this type of notice, your location in Mumbai (or any other city), and authority to which you are submitting will be indicated in your newspaper recommendation. Where most of the institutional needs in Mumbai are concerned, the general suggestion would be Times of India (English, in addition to Maharashtra Times (Marathi). Where it is necessary (i.e. your particular type of notice or authority) other combinations are accepted. Per-paper costs, total package cost, and all the services provided will be displayed in the quote with no hidden charges.

Check the draft, recommend amendments and agree on your preferred date of publication. The corrections at this stage are without charge and indefinite - we go to newspaper submission only when you expressly approve of it.

Step 4 — Upload Supporting Documents

In the case of name change notices: copy of notarized affidavit + identity evidence issued by the government (Aadhaar, PAN or passport).

Notices of lost documents FIR/GD entry copy in a police station with identity proof.

In case of property notice: sale deed, copy of an agreement or title documentation + identity proof + survey of property or CTS reference.

In the case of company and ROC documents: board resolution + appropriate ROC form IN C-26, IN C-28, or and company CIN and directors DIN information.

In cases of court directed notices: court order authorizing publication permission + diligent search affidavit certifying all personal attempts of service.

In the case of personal notices (separation, disownment, estrangement): notarized declaration (suggested) and identity proof.

In the event that your affidavit is not yet ready during the time of booking, public-noticeads.in can continue to do the newspaper booking, though many clients get their notarization done concurrently. Our team will recommend to your notice which sequencing is the best choice.

Step 5 — Select Your Publication Date and Make Payment.

After the verification of documents, the draft of the ad is accepted, of your choice of the day when you prefer to be published. The most important time rules to remember:

The publication of bookings made with payment before 2 PM on any day of the week is generally published the next day in most of the Mumbai editions of Times of India, Maharashtra Times, Hindustan Times, and Navbharat Times.

Normal bookings where there is no real need are posted 2 to 3 working days upon confirmation. In case of a multi-insertion court-ordered publication (where several inserts will be needed on a weekly basis), we will go ahead and book the entire insertion calendar, and email you a full-fertilized publication schedule upon booking confirmation.

Public-noticeads.in accepts payment in the following methods:

Google Pay (UPI, also called UPI), net banking (any Indian bank with a considerable install base), debit and credit cardIDs (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay), NEFT and IMPS bank transfers, and other agreed online payment options. An invoice and receipt of payment are emailed in the form of GST invoice and payment confirmation receipt respectively.

After confirmation of payment, you are locked in with a confirmation ID and sent a full publication timetable via WhatsApp and e-mail including the specific name of the newspaper, its edition, and the date when it is to be published in your package.

Step 6 — Your Public Notice Ad is Published

You do not need to take any action on publication day — public-noticeads.in monitors the publication, verifies the ad appeared correctly, and proceeds to proof delivery automatically.

Your official notice ad has to be run on the confirmed publication date on the hard copy of the books in the glass newspapers. Not only the online version, but publication in the physical print form is what is legally viable and acceptable in Institutional terms across India.

The post is also featured in the official electronic paper of the newspaper, and that is the official e-paper version, which can be taken as an additional digital evidence by the majority of institutions.

You need to do nothing about it on publication day public-noticeads.in checks the publication, and makes sure that the ad was placed properly, and then it automatically delivers proof.

Step 7 — Receive Complete Publication Proof

Under 24-48 hours and your complete proof package is delivered by public-noticeads.in:

Online e-paper PDF clipping - a high quality screen shot of your notice in all its appearance in the newspaper complete with page number, publication date, newspaper name, and edition information. Embarked on WhatsApp and email to be used in real time. Not rejected by most Mumbai institutions as quick submission.

Paper copies of newspapers- In case of institutional submissions which should be evidenced with a physical copy, copies of your notice containing original copies of the newspaper are to be arranged and sent to your Mumbai address within 2-3 working days of the publication date. Newspapers come in two copies each; extra copies can be obtained.

Publisher certificate - in case of publications where a court order entails formal certification the public-noticeads.in will receive the notarized affidavit of publication signed by the newspaper publisher which confirms the ad contents printed, the precise dates of insertion as well as publication circulation. This is the official document needed in court in order to file as evidence of completed substitute service.

Prepare several copies of your publication proof in a hard and soft copy. Various institutions in Mumbai have dissimilar submissions approaches where passport offices generally take screenshots on e-paper whereas property sub-registrar offices or co-operative housing societies generally need hardcopies in the form of newspaper cuttings.

Step 8 — Submit Proof and Proceed with Your Underlying Application

This is the publication evidence that is now ready and you can submit the evidence to the relevant authority. The following is its application in the most prevalent institutional requirements in Mumbai:

Application to change the name of Gazette: The newspaper cuttings in both English and Marathi along with affidavits that are notarized and also an identity and address proof are required to be submitted through the Maharashtra e-Gazette portal ( platform apple Sarkar). Publication in the Gazette is usually done after a period of 4-8 weeks after application.
