Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil will have a smoother certification process.

    After a lot of delays, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has finally decided to start with the online certification procedure from January 2017 and so, Shah Rukh Khan's Raees and Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil will be benefited with a smoother process...

    The long overdue move to introduce online censor certification will finally see the light of day, in January next year. Confirming the move to make the arduous process of acquiring censor certification far easier, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani says, “We’ve been working on the process of online certification for the past year. The work is now on a war footing. We’ll be ready to go online from January 2017.”

    Besides eliminating the need for producers to physically present themselves at the Censor Board office, online certification will also eliminate all possibilities of corruption in issuing film certification. “We’ve already eliminated any chances of corruption. Middlemen and others offering to obtain censor certificates out of queue are no more part of the censorship system, at least in the Mumbai office,” adds Nihalani.
