What it costs per word and per day, which paper hires best in your city, how letterhead & documents work, and the answers to every common question — in one place.
Metro editions typically draw strong responses within 1–2 weeks. A display classified with photo gets roughly 3× the response of a text-only ad. Multi-edition bundles significantly expand reach.
For broad reach, multi-edition packages offer up to 90% savings versus booking cities individually. Bundle discounts apply automatically: 5% off 3+ editions, 10% off 5+, 15% off 8+.
your chosen paper reaches millions of daily readers across major cities. For recruitment classifieds, the dedicated section ensures your ad is seen by readers actively looking in that category.
Rates reflect each edition's circulation and readership. High-circulation metros (Mumbai, Delhi) command premium rates because your ad reaches more readers. Smaller editions offer cost-effective reach.
Pre-built bundles save the most. Choose from National Selection (all editions), or smaller regional packages. Bundle discounts stack automatically at checkout — no coupon needed.
GST at 5% is the only addition. Enhancements like bold, border and tick mark are priced separately and shown live in the composer before you pay.
Classified text ads are priced per line (typically 5 lines minimum). Each additional line is charged at the per-line rate shown in the table. Display classifieds are priced by area (sq.cm).
Yes — for Classified Display ads, photos and logos are supported. Upload a JPG or PNG in the composer. Photo classifieds get significantly higher response rates than text-only.
Tick mark, border, bold text and background tint are available as add-ons. Each is priced live in the composer — you see the total update before you confirm.
Weekday classifieds require booking by 6 PM the previous day. Sunday editions close Friday 6 PM. The booking calendar shows available dates and highlights deadlines.
SMS confirmation is sent after the ad is processed. A tearsheet PDF (the actual page your ad appeared in) is emailed within 48 hours of publication.
Changes and cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the release date. Refunds are processed within 7 working days. Rescheduling to a later date is available at no extra charge.

Recruitment advertising, how it works.
How to place a situation-vacant classified in India's newspapers — what it costs, which paper and supplement reach the right candidates, and how releaseMyAd drafts, formats and books it for you.
A newspaper recruitment ad still reaches serious, local job-seekers — including the passive candidates who never scroll job portals. A few lines in the right Sunday appointments supplement, in the language your applicants read, fills roles that online listings quietly miss.
Booking used to mean a phone call and guessing the rate. Now you pick the paper, edition and date, see the exact price at a lowest-price guarantee, and we set the ad in the paper's format — free. The GST invoice is emailed; after it runs you can view your ad in the e-paper or buy a local copy.
