NOTICE

Ministry of Information & Broadcasting had permitted 164 private satellite TV channels to uplink from India before 2nd December, 2005 as detailed in Annexure-I. These channels were not registered to be downlinked in India as there was no provision to register them at that time.

2. It had been notified on 11.5.2006 that the channels uplinking from India, in accordance with permission for uplinking granted before 2nd December, 2005, shall be treated as “registered” television channels and can be carried or included in the cable service. Accordingly, all the TV channels desirous of downlinking in India have been seeking registration as per downlinking guidelines except the aforementioned 164 TV channels, as detailed in Annexure-I.

4. It was also decided that these channels would be considered for renewal after 5 years from 11.11.2005, if the Channel applied for Registration. Registration fee of Rs.5.00 lakhs would be charged while renewing the permission for registration for next five years. * * * *
