Printing and publishing of newspapers and periodicals within India are governed by the Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867 and the Registration of Newspapers (Central) Rules, 1956.

According to the Act, no newspaper or periodical should bear a title which is the same or similar to any other newspaper or periodical already being published, either in the same language or in the same State, unless the latter is also owned by the same person.

In order to ensure compliance of this condition, the Government of India has appointed the Registrar of Newspapers, also called the Press Registrar, who maintains a register of newspapers and periodicals published in India.

You will first have to get the title name of the proposed newspaper by applying to the Registrar of Newspapers of India. You will have to propose at least three names out of which one can be approved for registration till completion of other formalities for police verification and registration. You can also check online from the website of the RNI about existing newspapers to help you avoid similar name.
