Hindustan Times classifieds,
at a glance.

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

The Hindustan Times 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 Hindustan Times 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.

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 Hindustan Times 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.
