Film Commission to facilitate Indian and foreign filmmakers shoot in country

NEW DELHI: A Film Commission of India is proposed to be set up to serve as a single-window clearance system for foreign and Indian filmmakers who propose to shoot their films in the country.

Information and Broadcasting Ministry sources told indiantelevision.com that the Commission will provide all permissions required from different agencies in the Government of India for filming of feature films, short films, documentaries, television programmes, commercials and music videos.
 
The sources added that the Commission will also provide support to these filmmakers in obtaining requisite permissions from the state governments and local authorities.

A proposal in this regard is in the final stages of preparation in the I & B ministry for being put up before the Union Cabinet for its approval.
