Ministry of Information & Broadcasting CBFC Introduces Multilingual Module on E- Cinepramaan Portal to Streamline Film Certification
Posted On: 14 NOV 2025 4:51PM by PIB Mumbai The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has launched the Multilingual Module on the E- Cinepramaan portal. The module has now been fully deployed and made live for public use. This initiative is part of CBFC’s ongoing vision to digitize and simplify the film certification process for the Indian film industry.
According to CBFC Chairman Shri Prasoon Joshi, this optional feature—introduced in addition to the existing process—is designed to streamline and simplify certification for films intended for release in multiple Indian languages. With this facility, applicants can now submit films in various languages through a single, unified application, significantly reducing procedural duplication.
Under this module, each film certified for multilingual release will receive a Multilingual Certificate, clearly listing all languages in which the film has been approved. The Multilingual Film Certification initiative acknowledges the growing trend of pan-India cinema and aims to provide filmmakers with a seamless mechanism to cater to diverse linguistic audiences across the country.
Key features of the Multilingual Film Certification include:
Single Application: Applicants can upload and submit all language versions simultaneously through the E-Cinepramaan portal.
Unified Certificate: A single certificate will be issued granting multilingual status and specifying all certified languages.
Streamlined Processing: The entire application will be processed by one Regional Office, ensuring efficiency and uniformity.
The Central Board of Film Certification remains committed to enhancing transparency, efficiency, and ease of access in the film certification process, in line with the evolving needs of the Indian film industry.
