India Cine Hub: Single-Window Film Permits
India Cine Hub (ICH) is a government web portal that gives filmmakers one address for permission to shoot in India. The National Film Development Corporation runs it, and it folds co-production paperwork, police clearances and State approvals into a single application that the system routes onward - with film-visa help for foreign crews and, lately, clearances for live events too.
