Related Licences & Registrations

  • CBFC certification: needed per film for theatrical release — not per company.
  • Shooting permissions: from local authorities, and from ASI for heritage locations.
  • Copyright registration: optional but useful for protecting original works.

ROC Filing Notes

  • The IP ownership clause (‘acquire, own, license copyrights’) is important — production companies live on their content libraries. Do not skip it.
  • ‘Film producer’ is accepted MOA language; CBFC certification happens per film, not per company.
  • If the company will also distribute films theatrically, add a distribution clause — production and distribution are distinct objects.
