Location Permits for Filming in India

We help you secure the right filming permissions across India—without the usual headaches. From government approvals to location clearances, we handle the paperwork and coordination so your shoot runs smoothly and stays fully compliant. Whether you’re filming in a remote village or a bustling city, we make the process simple, quick, and stress-free.

The various levels involved in obtaining permission approvals include:

  • Central Government clearance (for feature films and documentaries involving centrally controlled entities)

  • Exemption for news coverage (for accredited foreign press)

  • Security clearance for filming locations (from the Ministry of Home Affairs via the Ministry of Railways Security Directorate and Zonal Security Departments)

  • Applications for filming on railway stations (via the Ministry of Railways – Public Relations Directorate)

Zonal permissions must be obtained from the respective Municipal Corporations of each city. Additionally, Police and Traffic permissions are required.
