April 11 , 2021 1314 days 907 0
  • The Government of India by an ordinance has abolished the Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal (FCAT).
  • The Tribunals Reforms (Rationalisation and Conditions of Service) Ordinance, 2021, amends the Cinematograph Act, 1952.
  • It amends the act by omitting some sections and replacing the word “Tribunal” with “High Court” in other sections.
  • The abolition of FCAT means filmmakers will now have to approach the High Court whenever they want to challenge a CBFC (CBFC - Central Board of Film Certification) certification, or lack of it.
