This poses a serious compliance risk. 🛑 Effective from 15th June 2025, only correctly mapped titles will be eligible for PRGI-related processing. ✅ *Action Required*: All Owners/Publishers are urged to immediately verify and rectify their title mappings on the Press Sewa Portal to ensure that: ▫️They have accurately mapped all titles belonging to them. ▫️They have NOT mapped any titles that don’t belong to them. *Let's work together to maintain transparency, accuracy, and seamless PRGI operations.* Please check out the PRGI's official *Advisory No.15 of 2025*: https://prgi.gov.in/sites/default/files/2025-05/advisory_no._15_0001_0.pdf
