Digital news sites could face action for "violations", which includes cancelled registration or penalty, if the bill is cleared.

New Delhi: Digital media in India will be regulated and can face action for "violations" under an amended law that the government plans to bring in the parliament session starting next week.

The law for the registration of media will, for the first time, include digital media, which has never been defined by any law or any government regulation till now. 

The Information and Broadcasting ministry, which will be the "administrative ministry", has started the process to amend the Registration of Press and Periodicals Bill to include "news on digital media through any electronic device".

Digital news publishers have to apply for registration and will be required to do so within 90 days of the law coming into effect.
