India currently does not appear to be a film-friendly destination since the process of film shooting is highly complex with as many as 30 agencies involved in the process of granting approvals and permissions. The implementation of a single-window clearance mechanism would enable international as well as domestic film makers to seek permits for film shooting in a structured manner, Goa, Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir are some of the states that have laid the foundation of a single-window clearance mechanism at the respective state-level. While these states have taken steps in the right direction, they can include additional measures to compete with international best practices eventually recognizing such state as a friendly destination for film production.The film industry receives support from the Government.
