Censor Board clearance for OTT films? Govt might amend IT Rules 2021 after row over 'Satluj'
The government is considering mandatory Central Board of Film Certification for OTT releases. This move would require amendments to existing IT rules for digital media. A recent controversy over the film Satluj on Zee5 prompted this consideration. Action may also be initiated against Zee5 for its release while under review. State governments are responsible for enforcing laws against private screenings of uncertified films.
