&lt;em&gt;Small sample size, &amp;lsquo;panel tampering&amp;rsquo; and conflicting interests are just some of the problems that plague TV viewership measurement in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hansa Research Private Limited, a Mumbai-based global market research company, on April 8 registered a complaint at Gwalior&#039;s Madhav Ganj police station following a leak of Broadcast Audience Research Council-related information by one of Hansa Research&amp;rsquo;s employees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The accused were booked under Sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code. BARC, the industry body responsible for television-audience measurement in India, had contracted Hansa Research to survey households on its behalf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;BARC, ratings and its measurement &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
BARC India is a joint initiative of broadcasters, advertising agencies and advertisers. It came to be India&amp;rsquo;s official rating agency after NDTV challenged the authenticity of the earlier rating agency, TAM Media Research, in a New York court for &amp;ldquo;manipulating television viewership data in favour of channels that were willing to offer bribes to its officials&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ratings, essentially, are a teller of a channel&amp;rsquo;s popularity. They, thus, play an important role in advertising-related decision-making. The Indian TV ad industry will be worth $5 bn in 2018, according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers report. It means decisions involving big-money investment depend on such data, in turn making access to information that would boost ratings tempting.&lt;br /&gt;
