INS extends disaccreditation notices to 30 ad agencies; fresh notices to 68 agencies

The Indian Newspaper Society (INS) has further extended notices of disaccreditation of 30 ad agencies across India. Along with this, INS has issued fresh disaccreditation notices to 68 ad agencies as well as cancelled the accreditation of 4 ad agencies – 3 from Kolkata and 1 from Delhi.

Among the fresh disaccreditation notices, Delhi topped the list with 15 ad agencies, followed closely by Mumbai and Hyderabad with 14 ad agencies each.

While issuing the notices, INS advised its member publications not to accord credit facility to these agencies during the period of notice, while making all efforts to realise their unpaid dues. The member publications were also asked to be alert to the possibility that the ad released by the defaulting agencies might be routed through other accreditated agencies.
