The correct answer is Option B: Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting released the draft Telecommunications (Television, Radio and Associated Services) Rules, 2026 on 12 June 2026 for public consultation. The draft rules propose a single regulatory framework for television, radio, DTH, HITS, community radio and IPTV services in India. The draft framework is based on the Telecommunications Act, 2023, which governs telecom and related services. The Telecommunications Act, 2023 replaced the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, a colonial-era legislation. The draft rules classify authorisations into six categories with a digital authorisation system and adjudication mechanism. Television channels must broadcast at least 30 minutes daily content on national importance and social relevance between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. Proposed authorisation periods include 10 years for TV channels, 15 years for private FM radio, and 20 years for DTH/HITS services.
