Films intended for public exhibition in the territory of India must be approved (in the form of a certification) by the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC). In the process, the CBFC labels films on the basis of suitability to different audience categories. The CBFC can also refuse certification on various grounds, including when the film calls into question the sovereignty of India, jeopardizes security or friendly relations with foreign States, among others. Without a certification, the film cannot be shown in movie theatres, on cable television, or (since 2016) on the Internet. Note that over-the-top services (e.g., VOD services) are not subject to licensing, and thus there is no clear requirement for content certification.Check the draft of the Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill, 2019https://www.prsindia.org/billtrack/cinematograph-amendment-bill-2019
