MUMBAI: Come 6 pm today evening and the Indian Broadcasting Foundation’s (IBF) diktat on forcing the net billing issue with advertising agencies is likely to come into full effect. All TV channels across India have been ordered to comply with the IBF order and stop carrying any TV commercials from this evening. The only exception to this ban were Sony Six and Sony Max, the two channels which are airing the sixth edition of IPL.

Already around late afternoon Star Plus and its channels had started carrying a ticker which read: “Ads are not running on this channel because advertising agencies have refused to accept revisions in billing methods which are seen as flawed by tax authorities. We regret any inconvenience but Star group is committed to doing business with the highest standards of compliance which reflects the true commercial arrangement between advertisers and broadcasters.”

AAAI president Aravind Sharma said that they were in discussions with IBF and ISA on the same. "We are hopeful that these will be concluded by the evening of 2 May."
