“I am very happy today that more than 50 news channels have come together to form the News Broadcasters Federation. These members of the NBF are from various regions and broadcasting in various states of India. India has more than 700 channels and if more associations are formed in genres like news, then it is a very positive development. We don’t believe in censorship but believe in self-regulation. I am very sure and confident that the News Broadcasters Federation will be a platform to discuss matters rel
Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman met the members of the executive body of the News Broadcasters Federation (NBF). In the meeting, the NBF has proposed a recommendation requesting the Government to treat TV News channels at par with the print industry under GST. In the current scenario, the GST applicable on the print media stands at 5% whereas the news broadcasters are charged 18% GST. (January 17, 2020)
