Cost of Name Change Advertisement in Newspapers

Publishing a name change ad in a newspaper is a crucial legal step in the name change process in India. It is generally required to be published in two newspapers:

One English national daily (e.g., The Times of India, Hindustan Times, etc.)

One regional/local newspaper (e.g., Navbharat Times, Hindustan, Amar Ujala, etc.)

Cost Breakdown

The cost of a name change ad depends on several factors:

Choice of newspaper (premium newspapers like The Times of India cost more)

City/Edition (ads in metropolitan editions cost more than regional ones)

Word count (newspapers usually charge per line or per word)

Enhancements (bold text, border, or highlighted text may increase cost)

Here are approximate price ranges:

➡️ Additional costs may apply if your ad exceeds the basic word/line limit. Newspapers typically charge ₹100-₹300 per additional line.
