Not just that, the present Press and Registration of Books Act has a punishment of Rs 2000 or imprisonment of six months if a person is found to be publishing without registration with RNI. The new act proposes a penalty of Rs 50,000 for violating the draft law, but no prison time for the publisher or printer. There is also a possibility of the publication being deregistered. Meaning, if the publisher violates the new Act, they cannot be jailed but they can be fined and deregistered.
