ಜಾಹೀರಾತು ನೀತಿ

Last updated: 11 November 2026

Every ad is reviewed by an editor before publication and is clearly labelled “ಜಾಹೀರಾತು” (advertisement). Ads must follow Indian law and the ASCI Code for Self-Regulation of Advertising Content. We do not accept:

• false, misleading or unverifiable claims, including “guaranteed” cures, results or returns;
• investment, stock-tip, trading or crypto-return schemes; chit funds or deposit schemes without registration; betting, gambling or lotteries not permitted by law;
• tobacco, alcohol (including surrogate ads), drugs or prescription medicines; remedies prohibited under the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act;
• content that is defamatory, obscene, hateful, communal, or targets a person, caste, religion or community;
• political advertising, unless pre-certified by the Election Commission’s MCMC during election periods;
• matrimonial ads that seek or offer dowry or discriminate unlawfully; job ads that ask candidates for money;
• use of another person’s photo, name or trademark without permission.

We may ask for proof of claims, licences or registration (e.g., RERA numbers for property ads, FSSAI for food businesses). We may suggest edits, place the ad on a different page within the booked size, or decline it. Declined ads are refunded in full. Text ads designed by us use our templates; we try to follow the chosen style but may adjust layout for legibility.
