Why do I need a newspaper ad to get a duplicate?

The notice publicly declares the loss so no one can misuse the original. Boards, banks and the RTA require it as a safeguard before issuing a duplicate.

Which edition should I publish in?

Usually the city where the document was issued or where you’ll apply for the duplicate. Tell us and we’ll confirm.

Will an E-FIR work, or do I need a full FIR?

An E-FIR / online GD entry is accepted — it doesn’t need a stamp or signature. A full investigation isn’t required to publish the notice.

I don’t have the document number. Can I still book?

Yes. Give what you know — we compose a valid caution notice; the number is helpful but not always mandatory.

How much for a lost marksheet ad?

A 3-line notice starts at ₹250; the calculator shows your exact figure including GST for your city and length.

Does a longer description cost more?

Slightly — it’s priced per printed line. We keep the wording as short as the authority will accept.

What do I submit with my duplicate form?

The published page from the Assam Rising e-paper, which you view and save — or a printed copy on request if your authority needs the physical paper.

Schools, exam boards, banks and the RTA ask for a newspaper notice before issuing a duplicate marksheet, passbook or RC.

How it works · end to end

From a lost document to a duplicate in hand.

The notice is one required step. Here’s where it fits, and what the authority wants back.

1 First

File an FIR / online GD

Report the loss at the police station or online. An E-FIR / GD entry is enough — you don’t need a full investigation.

An E-FIR with no stamp or signature is accepted by most authorities.
2 Describe

Tell us what was lost

Document type, number and date if you have them. We set it into the standard caution format, with correct spelling, free.
3 Publish

It prints in the next edition

Approve the proof and your notice runs in the city editions you choose, as early as tomorrow.
4 After

Submit the tear-sheet

Attach the published page from the Assam Rising e-paper to your duplicate application at the board, bank or RTA — view and save it once it runs.

For a lost property deed, authorities often ask for the longer ‘public notice / caution’ wording — our desk will tell you which format your case needs.

Before you book

No surprises on price

Exactly how your ad is priced — before you pay a rupee

The single most common question we get is ‘how was this number calculated?’ So here it is, in full. The price you see is the price you pay.

How it’s measured

Charged per printed line

Classified text is priced by printed line, not by character. A line is one row as it appears in the newspaper column.
Most notices run 3–6 lines. Long words that wrap to a new line count as the line they fill — the live preview shows the exact wrap.
A contact number, name or address all sit inside your lines — there is no separate ‘per-number’ charge.

A worked example

What ₹250 actually buys

GST @ 5% ₹13

Total you pay ₹263

Booking two dates means two insertions, so the rate applies twice — the calculator shows this clearly before payment, never as a surprise.

Ad types & how the cost is calculated

How are newspaper Lost and Found ads priced?
