Film and TV Producers Guild does away with title registration fees
NEW DELHI: Members of the Film and Television Producers Guild of India will no longer have to pay any fee for registration of titles.
The Guild Council of Management took this decision to provide services such as Publicity Clearance as well as Title registration to the members at no cost.
The Guild said that it has always endeavoured to create a congenial and transparent working with members. “This decision has therefore been made to become more members friendly and accessible. Initiatives like title registration waiver can go a long way in ensuring a simpler, transparent and seamless working environment,” the industry body said.
Film and Television Producers Guild president and filmmaker Mukesh Bhatt said, “Guild members are the pillars on which the strong foundations of the Guild have been laid – they were the assets of the Guild which need to be recognized and rewarded. It was therefore felt that it is our responsibility to pay back our members in a reasonable manner and consequently we have arrived at this decision to withdraw title registration fees which constitute a decent source of our revenue stream as a token of appreciation to our members’ support at all times.”
