Why 14 million ads have been booked through this site
Pratidin classifieds · 28 categories · 1 editions

Pratidin classifieds,
at a glance.

Every classified category in Pratidin, bookable online at the published rate — the section advertisers reach for first, now without a single phone call.

The Pratidin classifieds carry India's most-trusted reach for personal and commercial notices alike — matrimonial, property, recruitment, obituary, public notice and more. Millions flip through the section each week, with intent no online feed matches.

What sets the print classified apart is the intent of the reader: an audience in active search, scanning a section kept on the kitchen counter for the rest of the week. Each category routes your ad to the precise segment you're after.

“ The Pratidin classified section is still the closest thing India has to a national notice board. Online portals match against profiles; the print classified matches against intent.
— Indian Print Classified Quarterly · 2024 review

And yet the booking has always been the friction.

Booking a classified used to mean a sub-agent for the category code, a faxed proof, a wait for confirmation, and a rate card memorised by brokers. Multi-city bookings meant separate calls to separate offices.

That's what this page solves. We are the INS-accredited, authorized online booking platform and book Pratidin classifieds directly into the system at the published rate, with 30+ templates by category, live preview, and bundle discounts auto-applied.

Pick a category above to see exact rates, or use the city table below for a quick per-edition figure.
