Public Issue, Rights Issue, Buyback, Open Offer, Bonus, NCD, or
Allotment notice — call or WhatsApp 9821984000 with the notice
type and the newspapers required. We confirm the rate, prepare
a SEBI-format layout, and handle every edition.
Each IPO-related ad is one of three types. They carry different statutory purposes, different minimum sizes, and different rates. Select the format first; then the rate. Not sure? Call 9821984000.
Not sure which format your issue timeline requires? Call 9821984000 and describe the notice — we'll confirm the format, minimum size and newspaper mix against your merchant banker's requirement in under 15 minutes.
Full-page release-day ads and simultaneous multi-city bundles need 5–7 days' advance booking; standard statutory notices need 2–3 working days. Confirm exact minimum size against your merchant banker's compliance draft.

Three things used to be hard: getting the rate, formatting for compliance, and confirming the release ran correctly. Here's how each works with Riyo.
One call starts it; the rest runs without you. Spotted an error after approving? Call immediately — corrections are usually possible before the press run, never after publication. [Call 9821984000] · [WhatsApp Us] · [Email info@riyoadvertising.com]
The eight most common notice types in detail, then the complete list. All of the categories listed below are bookable on the same call.
Timeline-driven — opening, price band, and closing dates. Released simultaneously across one English national daily, one Hindi national daily, and one regional daily at the registered office, as required under SEBI ICDR Regulations. Compliance display: ₹220–₹850/sq.cm · Release-day full page: package priced.
Record date, entitlement, and closure stages. Each stage of a rights issue typically needs its own notice — record date fixation, letter of offer availability, and closure — across the same mandated newspaper mix. Compliance display: ₹220–₹850/sq.cm · Book 2–3 working days ahead per notice.
Public announcement & post-buyback report. A buyback under SEBI (Buy-Back of Securities) Regulations typically requires a public announcement at opening and a post-buyback public announcement at closing, in the same mandated newspaper mix. Compliance display: ₹220–₹850/sq.cm.
Detailed Public Statement (DPS) & follow-ups. An open offer under SEBI (SAST) Regulations typically needs a Detailed Public Statement, a Letter of Offer notice, and a post-offer advertisement. Compliance display: ₹220–₹850/sq.cm · Book 2–3 working days ahead per notice.
Record date & credit confirmation. Shorter statutory notices confirming the record date and bonus share credit, typically in the mandated English/Hindi/regional mix. Statutory notice: from ₹150/sq.cm.
Tranche opening & closing. Public issues of non-convertible debentures or bonds carry the same multi-newspaper notice requirement as equity public issues, per tranche. Compliance display: ₹220–₹850/sq.cm.
Post-issue, before trading begins. Confirms the basis of allotment and, separately, the listing date on the stock exchange. Standard notice: ₹150–₹220/sq.cm · Book 2 working days ahead.
Any day · Fastest turnaround category. A short correction notice referencing the original published ad. Statutory notice: from ₹150/sq.cm · Same/next-day release possible — call before 12 PM to confirm the cutoff.
* All notice types bookable: Public Issue (IPO) · Rights Issue · Buyback · Open Offer / Takeover · Bonus Issue · NCD/Bond Issue · QIP Notice · Basis of Allotment · Listing Notice · Corrigendum · Record Date Notice · Book Closure Notice · Scheme of Arrangement Notice · Delisting Notice. Don't see your notice type? Call 9821984000 — if it's a statutory capital-markets notice, we book it.
A regulatory disclosure requirement, not a marketing choice. SEBI ICDR, SAST, and Buyback Regulations set out which notices need publication, in which languages, and roughly when — and getting the newspaper mix, the format, and the timeline wrong can mean a delayed issue or a compliance flag.
Reach is not the reason an IPO notice ad exists. Disclosure is. Regulations require investors — existing shareholders, prospective applicants, and the market at large — to have access to material information about an issue in the language and geography relevant to them. That's why the requirement typically spans one English national daily, one Hindi national daily, and a regional-language daily at the issuer's registered office: coverage across the audiences who need to see it, not the widest possible reach.
And yet, booking it correctly has never been simple. Every notice type has its own minimum content, its own timeline relative to the issue (opening day, record date, closing day, listing day), and its own newspaper mix. A missed edition or a late release can mean a delayed timeline. Walk into a newspaper's ad office directly and you pay the full counter rate, coordinating separately with each desk. Hire an inexperienced sub-agent and you risk a layout that doesn't match the approved draft.
Riyo has coordinated statutory and capital-markets notices since 2003. Call 9821984000: you get the confirmed newspaper mix for your registered office, an agency rate up to 15% off counter, a layout cross-checked against your approved content, and a tearsheet for every edition once it's published. We've handled rate cards like these for 23 years and know which desk needs what, and by when.
An IPO or capital-markets notice isn't a single newspaper booking. Each publication reaches a different reader in a different language — matching the mandated mix correctly is as important as the content itself.

SEBI's ICDR, SAST, and Buyback Regulations set out, in broad terms, where a capital-markets notice must be published — but the exact newspapers, minimum content, and timeline depend on your specific issue, your merchant banker's draft, and your registered office. Get these three checks right and the notice clears on first submission.
→ Newspaper mix: one English national
daily, one Hindi national daily, one regional daily at the
registered office — confirm the exact requirement for your
notice type.
→ Approved content: the notice text
must match what your merchant banker or registrar has
approved, word for word.
→ Regulatory citation: the correct
SEBI regulation reference for the notice type (ICDR, SAST,
Buyback Regulations, and so on).
→ Timeline: notices tied to a
specific date (record date, opening, closing, listing) need
to publish on or before that date, not after.
→ Minimum size: each notice type has
its own practical minimum for legibility of the required
disclosures.
✕ Wrong newspaper mix: missing the
regional-language daily at the registered office is the
most common gap.
✕ Content mismatch: a layout that
paraphrases the approved draft instead of matching it
exactly.
✕ Late submission: missing a newspaper's
desk cutoff for the required publication date.
✕ Inconsistent release date: editions
publishing on different days when simultaneous release was
required.
✕ Missing regulatory reference: omitting
the specific regulation citation the notice type requires.
✕ No proof retained: not keeping the
tearsheet needed for the compliance filing after
publication.
This page describes the general newspaper-mix pattern commonly used for capital-markets notices in India. Exact requirements vary by notice type, regulation, and issue specifics, and change with regulatory updates. Always confirm the applicable newspapers, content, and timeline with your merchant banker, registrar, or compliance team before release — Riyo handles the booking and layout, not the legal or regulatory determination of what's required.
Notice didn't clear a newspaper's desk on first submission? Call 9821984000 — tell us what was submitted and what came back. We'll identify the issue. No charge for that conversation.
Why the Newspaper Mix Matters More Than Reach: A public issue notice isn't judged on circulation alone — it's judged on whether it reached the audiences the regulation intends: English-reading investors nationally, Hindi-reading investors nationally, and readers at the issuer's registered office in their own language. Missing any one of the three is typically treated as a gap, regardless of how large the other two editions are.
• Format & Rate: Compliance Display
(per sq.cm) at ₹220–₹850 per sq.cm (newspaper dependent).
Release-day Full Page: package priced on request.
• Timeline: Opening day, price band day,
and closing day notices are typically each their own release —
confirm which stages your issue requires ads for.
• Booking Details: Riyo doesn't publish
one fixed multi-newspaper package price — call 9821984000 and
we'll quote your exact combined rate before you commit.
This is often the most time-sensitive category — an error spotted in a published notice, or a record date that needs confirming quickly. We've handled thousands of statutory corrections and built the process to move fast.
• Option & Details: Minimum size:
4×8 cm for a corrigendum. Statutory rate: from ₹150/sq.cm.
Same day / next day: Possible for urgent corrections — call
before 12 PM to confirm the cutoff.
• What you need: The original published
notice's date and newspaper, plus the exact corrected
text. For same-day: Call 9821984000 directly. Don't start with
a WhatsApp message and wait.
• Editing: Before printing — yes, if
caught quickly. After publication — no; a corrigendum is the
only way to fix a released notice.
Buyback and open offer processes each involve more than one mandated notice, published at different points in the regulatory timeline — treating them as a single one-time ad is the most common mistake we see.
• Covers: Buyback public announcement and
post-buyback public announcement; open offer detailed public
statement, letter of offer notice, and post-offer
advertisement.
• Rate & Deadlines: Rate:
₹220–₹850/sq.cm by newspaper and placement. Deadlines: 2–3
working days for standard notices; 5–7 working days for
simultaneous multi-city release. A missed regulatory deadline
has consequences no discount is worth.
• Compliance: e-tearsheet sent
automatically after each publication as your scanned proof for
SEBI compliance filings and regulatory records.
This is an honest comparison. There's a right answer depending on your situation.

If your team has the bandwidth to coordinate several newspaper desks separately and already has the layout in hand, self-service works fine. If you need the mandated newspaper mix confirmed, a statutory-format layout, or simultaneous release across multiple cities on a fixed date — that's what we're here for.
