If you have given someone a Power of Attorney (POA) and now want to inform the public that the authority has been cancelled, revoked, withdrawn or changed, you may need to consider publishing a Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement in Kolkata.

This topic can become confusing very quickly.

People often ask me:

• What is a Power of Attorney notice?
• When should a POA be revoked?
• Is newspaper publication compulsory?
• Do I need to publish a notice after cancelling a Power of Attorney?
• Should I publish in one newspaper or two?
• Which newspaper should I choose in Kolkata?
• What should the advertisement say?
• What documents are required?
• How much does a Power of Attorney notice cost?
• Can I publish the notice online?
• How long does publication take?
• What proof will I receive?
• What happens if the POA is registered?
• Can a Power of Attorney be irrevocable?
• What happens to third parties who do not know about the revocation?

I have created this guide to answer these questions in simple language.

At OMM Advertising, I help customers with newspaper advertising and publication requirements in Kolkata, including legal notices, public notices, property notices, lost-document notices, tender notices and other notice advertisements.

My role is to make the newspaper publication process easier.

I do not replace an advocate, registrar, court or other legal authority. If your Power of Attorney has legal consequences, I strongly recommend getting the underlying legal position and final wording checked by your advocate.

Expert Review: This article is reviewed from a newspaper advertising and publication perspective by the OMM Advertising advertising team. The legal effect of revocation, cancellation, registration, service and third-party rights can depend on the facts and the wording of the Power of Attorney. For a legal decision, the final matter should be confirmed by a qualified advocate or the appropriate authority.

What Is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is an authority given by one person, known as the principal, to another person, known as the agent or attorney-holder, to act on the principal’s behalf for specified matters.

The authority can be broad or limited.

For example, a person may authorise another person to:

• manage property
• sign documents
• appear before an authority
• manage banking or financial matters
• complete a transaction
• deal with a property
• collect documents
• represent the principal
• perform specific business functions

The exact powers depend on the wording of the Power of Attorney.

This is why I always recommend keeping the original POA document available before preparing any newspaper notice.

---

What Is a Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement?

A Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement is a newspaper notice used to communicate information concerning a Power of Attorney to the public or relevant third parties.

In many practical cases, the notice relates to:

• revocation of Power of Attorney
• cancellation of Power of Attorney
• withdrawal of authority
• termination of an agent’s authority
• change of attorney-holder
• warning that a person is no longer authorised to act
• cautioning third parties not to rely on a revoked authority

The exact purpose depends on the circumstances.

For example, a principal may have previously authorised a person to deal with a property. Later, the principal may revoke that authority. A newspaper publication can be used as part of the broader process of communicating the change to the public.

But I want to make one point very clear:

A newspaper advertisement should not automatically be treated as the legal act that revokes every Power of Attorney.

The legal method of revocation depends on the particular POA, applicable law, registration status, contractual terms and circumstances.

---

What Is a Revocation of Power of Attorney?

Revocation means withdrawing the authority previously given to the attorney or agent.

In simple terms:

Principal gives authority → Attorney receives authority → Principal later terminates/revokes the authority

The exact legal process can vary.

The Indian Contract Act, 1872 contains provisions dealing with termination of agency, including Sections 201 to 208. India Code lists provisions covering termination, revocation, notice and when termination takes effect against agents and third parties.

Section 207 also recognises that revocation can be expressed or implied in the conduct of the principal.

Section 208 is particularly important because termination does not take effect against the agent before it becomes known to the agent, or against third parties before it becomes known to them.

That is one reason public communication can become important in situations where third parties may otherwise rely on the attorney’s apparent authority.

---

Is Newspaper Publication Required for Every Power of Attorney?

No.

This is one of the most important answers in this entire guide.

I would not tell every customer:

“You must publish a Power of Attorney notice in a newspaper.”

That is too broad.

Whether newspaper publication is required or advisable can depend on:

• the terms of the POA
• whether the POA is registered
• whether it is revocable
• whether the agency is coupled with an interest
• the transaction involved
• the people or organisations dealing with the attorney
• applicable legal requirements
• court or authority instructions
• advice from the advocate handling the matter

For example, Section 202 of the Indian Contract Act deals with situations where the agent has an interest in the subject matter and states that the agency cannot, absent an express contract, be terminated to the prejudice of that interest.

Therefore, do not decide whether a POA is revocable merely from an online article.

Get the document reviewed.

---

Why Is a Newspaper Notice Used After POA Revocation?

The main practical reason is public communication.

Suppose a person previously had authority to act on behalf of the principal.

Now that authority has been revoked.

If third parties continue dealing with that person without knowing about the revocation, complications can arise.

Section 208 of the Indian Contract Act specifically deals with when termination of an agent’s authority takes effect as against the agent and third parties.

A newspaper notice can therefore serve as one method of communicating the change more broadly.

Indian court records also show real examples involving publication of notices concerning revocation of Power of Attorney. In one recent Bombay High Court matter, a newspaper notice informed the public about revocation and cautioned people against dealing with property on the basis of the revoked POA.

A Calcutta High Court matter also records a dispute involving registered deeds of Power of Attorney and newspaper publication of a legal notice concerning their cancellation.

These examples show why newspaper publication can become relevant, but they do not mean that every POA follows the same process.

---

Who Is Involved in a Power of Attorney?

Understanding the basic terminology makes the process much easier.

Principal

The person who gives the authority.

Example:

Mr. A gives authority to Mr. B.

Mr. A is the principal.

Attorney / Agent / Attorney-Holder

The person who receives authority.

In the example above:

Mr. B is the attorney or agent.

Third Party

A person or organisation dealing with the attorney.

For example:

• buyer
• seller
• bank
• registrar
• company
• property developer
• government office
• customer
• other contracting party

Third-party knowledge becomes particularly important when authority has been terminated. Section 208 addresses this point directly.

---

Types of Power of Attorney

There is no single format that applies to every POA.

The authority can vary depending on the purpose.

1. General Power of Attorney

A General Power of Attorney (GPA) can give broad authority to an agent to act for the principal across specified matters.

The exact powers depend on the document.

---

2. Special Power of Attorney

A Special Power of Attorney (SPA) generally gives authority for a particular act or limited purpose.

For example:

• signing a particular document
• completing a specific transaction
• appearing before a particular authority
• dealing with a particular property matter

---

3. Property-Related Power of Attorney

A POA may authorise an attorney to deal with property matters.

This can include powers concerning:

• management
• documentation
• registration-related activities
• negotiations
• transactions
• representation before authorities

Property-related POAs need particular care because the underlying transaction can involve significant legal rights.

---

4. Business Power of Attorney

A company or business may authorise an individual to perform specific business functions.

The exact authority depends on the document and applicable corporate requirements.

---

5. Registered Power of Attorney

Some Powers of Attorney are registered with an appropriate authority.

The procedure for cancellation or revocation can differ from that of an unregistered or merely notarised instrument.

Therefore, I recommend checking the document and registration details before preparing a newspaper notice.

---

What Is a Revocation Notice?

A revocation notice communicates that the authority previously given under a Power of Attorney has been withdrawn or terminated.

It may identify:

• principal
• attorney
• date of original POA
• registration details
• document number
• nature of authority
• effective date
• revocation statement
• caution to third parties
• contact details

The exact wording should be approved by the advocate handling the matter.

---

What Is a Cancellation Notice?

The words cancellation and revocation are sometimes used together in everyday communication.

However, the legal mechanism can depend on the nature of the instrument and circumstances.

A newspaper advertisement should therefore use the terminology supplied by the legal professional or authority.

Do not change:

“revoked”

to

“cancelled”

simply because the second word sounds easier.

The wording should match the underlying document and legal advice.

---

Can a Power of Attorney Be Irrevocable?

Sometimes a Power of Attorney may be described as irrevocable.

But the word “irrevocable” should not be treated as a simple answer by itself.

The underlying legal arrangement matters.

Section 202 of the Indian Contract Act is important where the agent has an interest in the subject matter of the agency. It provides protection against termination to the prejudice of that interest, subject to the statutory wording.

Therefore:

Do not assume that every POA marked “irrevocable” is automatically identical to every other irrevocable POA.

Have the actual document reviewed.

---

What Happens If the Power of Attorney Is Registered?

If the Power of Attorney is registered, the cancellation/revocation process may involve the relevant registration authority and a formal cancellation or revocation instrument, depending on the facts.

I would not advise a customer to rely on a newspaper advertisement alone.

The newspaper advertisement can be a public communication step, while the formal legal cancellation may be a separate process.

This distinction is extremely important.

---

What Happens If the Power of Attorney Is Not Registered?

The process can differ again.

Depending on the circumstances, legal advice may involve:

• written revocation
• notice to the attorney
• communication to relevant persons
• newspaper publication
• other documentation

The correct procedure depends on the instrument and facts.

A newspaper agency should not decide this for you.

---

Step-by-Step Process for Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement in Kolkata

Here is the practical process I recommend.

Step 1: Identify the Power of Attorney

Keep the POA document ready.

Check:

• date
• names
• address
• powers granted
• property details, if any
• registration details
• document number
• registration office
• witnesses
• special conditions

---

Step 2: Ask an Advocate to Review the POA

This is especially important when:

• property is involved
• money is involved
• the POA is registered
• the POA is stated to be irrevocable
• a dispute exists
• a court matter is pending
• third parties are already dealing with the attorney

---

Step 3: Determine the Legal Action

The responsible legal professional should determine whether the matter requires:

• revocation
• cancellation
• withdrawal
• termination
• registered cancellation
• notice to the attorney
• communication to third parties
• newspaper publication

Do not skip this step.

---

Step 4: Prepare the Final Advertisement Matter

Once the legal position is clear, prepare the final newspaper matter.

The wording should be checked carefully.

---

Step 5: Identify the Newspaper Requirement

Ask:

• Which newspaper?
• Which language?
• Which edition?
• One newspaper or multiple?
• Classified or display?
• What publication date?

If a court or authority has specified the newspaper, follow that instruction.

---

Step 6: Contact OMM Advertising

Send the final matter to OMM Advertising.

I can then check the publication-side requirements.

I normally look at:

• notice category
• newspaper
• edition
• advertisement length
• format
• publication date
• supporting documents
• deadline

---

Step 7: Check the Newspaper Rate

The cost depends on the selected publication and format.

I recommend getting the rate confirmed before payment.

---

Step 8: Submit Supporting Documents

Depending on the newspaper, supporting documentation may be requested.

For a POA notice, useful documents may include:

• copy of POA
• revocation/cancellation document
• advocate’s approved matter
• registration details
• authority letter
• identity information
• other supporting documents

The exact requirements can vary.

---

Step 9: Confirm Publication Date

This is particularly important if the notice is connected to a legal deadline.

Do not assume immediate publication.

Ask for confirmation.

---

Step 10: Publish the Advertisement

Once everything is confirmed, the notice is submitted for publication.

---

Step 11: Preserve Publication Proof

After publication, keep:

• newspaper copy
• e-paper page
• tear sheet
• publication confirmation
• invoice
• payment receipt
• booking details

These records can be useful later.

---

What Documents Are Required for a POA Notice Advertisement?

There is no universal document list for every newspaper.

Depending on the matter, I recommend keeping these available:

Basic documents

• Power of Attorney copy
• final notice matter
• principal’s details
• attorney’s details

If the POA is registered

• registration number
• registration date
• registration office
• registered document copy

If it has been revoked

• revocation/cancellation deed or document
• advocate-approved notice
• relevant communication records

If property is involved

• property details
• deed details
• premises number
• plot information
• relevant supporting documents

If a court case is involved

• court order
• case number
• relevant court document

The newspaper may ask for additional documentation.

---

What Should a Power of Attorney Notice Contain?

The final notice depends on the case, but it commonly identifies:

• principal’s name
• attorney’s name
• date of POA
• nature of authority
• registration details where applicable
• revocation/cancellation statement
• effective date
• caution to third parties
• relevant property details, if applicable
• contact information

The notice should be concise.

There is no benefit in using complicated language if the same information can be communicated clearly.

---

Power of Attorney Revocation Notice Format

Here is an illustrative structure only:

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

Notice is hereby given that I, [Principal’s Full Name], residing at [Address], had executed a Power of Attorney dated [Date] in favour of [Attorney’s Full Name], residing at [Address], concerning [brief description of authority/property/matter].

I hereby state that the said Power of Attorney has been revoked/withdrawn/cancelled with effect from [Date], subject to the applicable legal process.

Accordingly, members of the public and concerned persons are advised not to rely upon or enter into any transaction with the said attorney on the basis of the aforesaid authority after the effective date of revocation.

[Principal’s Name]

[Contact Details]

This is only a sample structure.

Do not publish this sample without having it reviewed for your particular case.

The correct wording may be materially different depending on the Power of Attorney.

---

Power of Attorney Public Notice Format for Property

A property-related notice can require additional information.

A simplified structure might look like:

PUBLIC NOTICE

Notice is hereby given that [Principal’s Name] had executed a Power of Attorney dated [Date] in favour of [Attorney’s Name] in respect of [Property Description].

The said authority has been revoked/cancelled with effect from [Date], subject to the applicable legal procedure.

Members of the public are advised to verify the current authority before entering into any transaction concerning the said property.

For any clarification, contact:

[Name / Advocate / Office]

[Address / Phone]

Again, this is only an illustrative format.

The advocate handling the property matter should approve the final text.

---

How Much Does a Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement Cost in Kolkata?

There is no universal fixed price.

The rate can depend on:

• newspaper
• edition
• language
• advertisement category
• number of lines
• number of words
• number of characters
• advertisement size
• classified or display format
• colour
• publication date
• number of newspapers
• urgency
• applicable taxes

For a short classified notice, the newspaper may calculate the price using a line, word or character-based system.

For display advertising, the rate may depend on the size.

Therefore, I recommend sending the final matter first.

Then the actual rate can be checked.

---

Classified vs Display Power of Attorney Notice

Classified Notice

A classified notice is usually text-based.

It can be suitable when:

• the matter is short
• the newspaper accepts the notice under its classified category
• a simple public announcement is sufficient
• budget is important

Display Notice

A display notice provides more space and visibility.

It can be suitable when:

• the notice is longer
• greater visibility is required
• a larger format is preferred
• a specific display format is required

The newspaper’s rate card determines the final cost.

---

Do I Need to Publish the Notice in Two Newspapers?

Not automatically.

This is another area where I recommend avoiding blanket statements.

In some practical cases, lawyers advise publication in two leading newspapers, sometimes including English and regional-language publications.

But that does not mean every Power of Attorney revocation in Kolkata legally requires two newspapers.

The correct requirement can depend on:

• the legal advice received
• the transaction
• the POA
• third parties involved
• court/authority direction
• local practice
• the purpose of publication

So if your advocate says:

“Publish in one English and one Bengali newspaper,”

follow that instruction.

If the authority specifies a particular newspaper, follow that instruction.

---

Which Newspapers Can I Use in Kolkata?

The appropriate publication depends on your requirement.

Potential Kolkata newspaper options can include:

Bengali Newspapers

• Anandabazar Patrika
• Bartaman
• Aajkaal
• Pratidin
• other suitable Bengali publications

English Newspapers

• The Times of India
• The Statesman
• other suitable English publications

OMM Advertising’s existing content library already contains dedicated pages covering individual newspaper advertising and rate topics, including Anandabazar Patrika, Bartaman, Aajkaal and Times of India.

But I would not select a newspaper simply because it has the largest circulation.

First check the requirement.

---

How Do I Choose the Right Newspaper?

I use the following questions.

1. What does the advocate require?

This comes first.

2. What geographic area matters?

If the attorney operates in Kolkata, local reach may be relevant.

3. What language is appropriate?

English, Bengali or another language may be relevant depending on the requirement.

4. Is publication in multiple newspapers required?

Confirm before booking.

5. What is the deadline?

The newspaper must be able to publish within the required period.

6. What is the budget?

After compliance requirements are clear, compare the available advertising options.

---

Can I Book a Power of Attorney Notice Online?

Yes.

The process can be completed through an advertising agency.

A simple workflow is:

Send POA notice matter

↓

Share supporting documents

↓

Select newspaper

↓

Check rate

↓

Confirm publication date

↓

Complete booking

↓

Advertisement published

↓

Receive publication proof

This is particularly convenient when the customer already has the final advocate-approved matter.

---

How Quickly Can a POA Notice Be Published?

The timeline depends on:

• newspaper
• edition
• advertisement category
• booking cut-off
• publication date
• document verification
• available space
• weekends and holidays

If the notice is urgent, contact the advertising agency as early as possible.

I do not recommend assuming that an advertisement sent today will automatically appear tomorrow.

Always confirm the publication date.

---

What Happens After the Newspaper Publication?

Publication is not necessarily the end of the legal process.

Depending on the case, you may still need to:

• notify the attorney directly
• complete registration formalities
• inform banks
• inform property-related parties
• inform buyers or sellers
• inform authorities
• update internal records
• preserve legal evidence
• take further legal action

The newspaper advertisement is one communication step.

The legal professional handling the matter should tell you what else is required.

---

Why Is Notice to the Attorney Important?

Section 208 of the Indian Contract Act states that termination of an agent’s authority does not take effect against the agent before it becomes known to the agent.

That means I would not recommend relying only on a newspaper publication when direct communication to the attorney is required or appropriate.

The exact method of service should be determined by your legal professional.

---

Why Is Notice to Third Parties Important?

Third-party knowledge can also matter.

Section 208 addresses the effect of termination as against third parties and provides that termination does not take effect against third parties before it becomes known to them.

This is one reason public communication can be relevant.

If the attorney has been dealing with:

• buyers
• sellers
• banks
• companies
• property developers
• government authorities
• customers

the advocate may recommend additional direct communication.

---

What If the Attorney Continues to Use the Revoked POA?

This is a legal issue, not simply an advertising issue.

If you believe an attorney is continuing to act after revocation, contact your advocate immediately.

Depending on the circumstances, the lawyer may advise you to:

• send formal notice
• inform relevant parties
• publish a public notice
• notify authorities
• approach the registrar
• take civil or other legal action

Do not attempt to solve a serious dispute only through a newspaper advertisement.

---

Can a Newspaper Notice Prevent Fraud?

A properly prepared public notice can help communicate that an authority has been withdrawn.

But I would not promise that newspaper publication alone can prevent fraud.

For important matters, I recommend a broader approach:

Legal revocation → Notice to attorney → Communication to relevant parties → Newspaper publication where appropriate → Record preservation

The exact sequence should be determined for your situation.

---

Common Mistakes in Power of Attorney Notice Advertising

Mistake 1: Assuming Every POA Can Be Revoked Easily

Some arrangements may involve an interest protected under Section 202.

Mistake 2: Treating Newspaper Publication as the Revocation Itself

Publication may be a communication step. The legal act of revocation can involve other formalities.

Mistake 3: Not Informing the Attorney

Section 208 makes knowledge by the agent important.

Mistake 4: Ignoring Third Parties

If third parties are dealing with the attorney, the advocate may recommend direct communication.

Mistake 5: Changing the Legal Matter

Do not rewrite a lawyer-approved notice just to reduce advertisement cost.

Mistake 6: Choosing a Newspaper Without Checking the Requirement

The cheapest publication may not be appropriate.

Mistake 7: Missing the Publication Date

Always confirm the newspaper deadline.

Mistake 8: Losing the Publication Proof

Keep the newspaper and digital proof safely.

Mistake 9: Publishing Incorrect Property Details

Double-check:

• premises number
• plot number
• deed number
• registration number
• dates
• names

Mistake 10: Using Aggressive or Defamatory Language

A notice should communicate the required information clearly and carefully.

A recent Bombay High Court matter considered a newspaper notice about revocation and caution to the public and discussed good-faith protection in the context of the allegations before the court. This reinforces why the wording and purpose of a publication should be handled carefully.

---

What Should I Check Before the Advertisement Goes Live?

I recommend checking every important detail.

Principal

• spelling
• address

Attorney

• spelling
• address

POA

• date
• document number
• registration number
• registration office

Property

• premises number
• plot number
• location
• description

Revocation

• exact terminology
• effective date

Contact

• phone
• email
• advocate details

A single incorrect number can create unnecessary problems.

---

Frequently Asked Questions About Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement in Kolkata

What is a Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement?

It is a newspaper advertisement communicating information about a Power of Attorney, often concerning revocation, cancellation, withdrawal or termination of authority.

Is a Power of Attorney notice compulsory in Kolkata?

Not for every Power of Attorney. The requirement depends on the instrument, circumstances, legal advice, registration status, transaction and applicable requirements.

Is newspaper publication enough to revoke a Power of Attorney?

Not necessarily. Newspaper publication can be a public communication step. The legal process for revocation may involve other formalities.

Can I revoke a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney may be revocable depending on its nature and circumstances. Section 202 of the Indian Contract Act is important where the agent has an interest in the subject matter of the agency.

What is the difference between revocation and cancellation of Power of Attorney?

The terminology can depend on the document and legal procedure. Use the wording supplied or approved by your advocate rather than changing the terms yourself.

Do I need to inform the Power of Attorney holder?

The agent’s knowledge is important under Section 208 of the Indian Contract Act. The termination of authority does not take effect against the agent before it becomes known to the agent.

Do third parties need to know about the revocation?

Third-party knowledge can matter because Section 208 also addresses when termination takes effect against third parties.

Do I need to publish the POA revocation in two newspapers?

Not automatically. The requirement depends on the circumstances and the advice or instruction applicable to your matter.

Which newspaper is best for a Power of Attorney notice in Kolkata?

There is no single best newspaper for every case. The appropriate publication depends on the legal requirement, audience, language, geographic area and any specific instruction.

Can I publish a POA notice in Anandabazar Patrika?

If the newspaper accepts the relevant notice category and the publication is appropriate for your requirement, it can be an option. Confirm the current rate and publication requirements before booking.

Can I publish a POA notice in Bartaman?

Yes, subject to the newspaper’s current advertising category, format and publication requirements.

Can I publish a Power of Attorney notice in The Times of India?

Yes, subject to the publication’s current category, rate and booking requirements.

How much does a Power of Attorney notice cost in Kolkata?

There is no single fixed price. Cost depends on the newspaper, edition, format, length or size, publication date and other applicable factors.

Is a classified POA notice cheaper than a display notice?

Usually, a short classified notice can be less expensive than a larger display advertisement, but the actual price depends on the newspaper’s rate card and the matter.

What documents are required for a POA newspaper advertisement?

Depending on the case, you may need the Power of Attorney, revocation/cancellation document, advocate-approved matter, registration details and other supporting documents.

What should a POA revocation notice contain?

It can identify the principal, attorney, original POA, relevant registration details, revocation statement, effective date and caution to third parties. The final content should be legally reviewed.

Can I use an online sample Power of Attorney revocation notice?

You can use samples to understand structure, but I do not recommend copying one directly. Your POA and legal circumstances may be different.

Can OMM Advertising draft my Power of Attorney revocation notice?

OMM Advertising can assist with the newspaper publication process. For legal drafting or determining whether the POA can be revoked, consult your advocate.

Can OMM Advertising help me choose the newspaper?

Yes. OMM Advertising can help you compare the available advertising options based on newspaper, edition, format and applicable rates. If your lawyer or authority specifies a newspaper, that instruction should take priority.

How quickly can a POA notice be published?

The timeline depends on the newspaper’s booking deadline, availability, notice type, documents and requested publication date. Urgent matters should be submitted as early as possible.

What proof do I receive after publication?

Depending on the newspaper and booking arrangement, you may receive a newspaper copy, e-paper page, tear sheet or publication confirmation.

What if I find an error after publication?

Contact the advertising agency or newspaper immediately. If the error affects a legal fact, name, date, property detail or registration number, also inform your advocate.

Can a revoked Power of Attorney still be used by the attorney?

If you believe the attorney is continuing to act after revocation, contact your advocate immediately. The appropriate legal response depends on the circumstances.

Can a Power of Attorney be irrevocable?

Some POAs can involve an interest that affects revocability. Section 202 of the Indian Contract Act is particularly relevant where the agent has an interest in the subject matter.

Does a registered Power of Attorney need a cancellation deed?

The appropriate procedure depends on the document and applicable law. If the POA is registered, consult the relevant advocate or registration authority before relying on a newspaper advertisement alone.

Final Advice: Do Not Treat the Newspaper Advertisement as the Whole Legal Process

If I had to give one important recommendation to someone publishing a Power of Attorney Notice Advertisement in Kolkata, it would be this:

First resolve the legal position. Then publish the advertisement.

The practical sequence should be:

Review the POA

↓

Determine whether revocation/cancellation is legally appropriate

↓

Prepare the formal revocation/cancellation document if required

↓

Notify the attorney as advised

↓

Identify relevant third parties

↓

Confirm whether newspaper publication is required or advisable

↓

Prepare advocate-approved newspaper matter

↓

Select newspaper and edition

↓

Check rate

↓

Book publication

↓

Collect publication proof

This approach is much safer than simply searching for a cheap newspaper advertisement and publishing a generic format.

The Indian Contract Act recognises specific rules concerning termination of agency, revocation and the effect of termination on agents and third parties. In particular, Section 208 makes knowledge of termination important, while Section 202 addresses agencies where the agent has an interest in the subject matter.

So, if your matter involves a property, registered Power of Attorney, irrevocable authority, disputed transaction, court proceeding or significant financial interest, I strongly recommend taking legal advice before publication.

At OMM Advertising, I can then help you with the practical newspaper advertising side: newspaper selection, rate checking, advertisement booking, publication coordination and publication proof.
