The minimum fee charged by the .in registry will be Rs 250 and Rs 750 per year for registration at third and second levels, respectively.

The .in registry will offer a 90-day ’sunrise period’ to the registered trademark owners, registered companies and owners of intellectual property to secure registration of their domain names.

Also, the zones for government, military and educational institutions would be reserved exclusively by the respective organisations, he said, adding that registration for these will be offered by National Informatics Centre (NIC)—an organisation jointly nominated by the defence ministry and ERNET.
