The Press & Registration of Periodicals Act, 2023 removes books and journals from the purview of registration necessitated by the old Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867; the new Act defines a periodical as “any publication including a newspaper which is published and printed at regular intervals containing public news or comments on public news but does not include a book or a journal of scientific, technical, and academic nature.” Therefore, “book, or a journal including a book or journal of scientific, technical and academic nature” does not require registration with Press Registrar General of India. https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2010874 Act is available at https://mib.gov.in/sites/default/files/Press%20and%20Registration%20of%20Periodicals%20Act%202023.pdf Key differences between the PRB Act, 1867 and the PRP Bill, 2023:   Registration of periodicals: The 1867 Act provides for the registration of newspapers, periodicals, and books.
