India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is undergoing an overhaul, with the government appointing 18 new members to the board. The information comes from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, which says the revised board takes effect immediately and is set to serve for a limited term.
According to the ministry, the new panel continues “for a period of three years or until further orders, whichever is earlier.” NDTV reports that among the appointees is a Grammy-winning musician, highlighting the inclusion of a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
While the report focuses on the composition and timeline of the refreshed CBFC, it does not provide further detail on the specific roles, regional representation, or changes in decision-making processes compared with the previous board. Across the available sources, the core points are the appointment of an 18-member panel, the immediate start of the revised board, and its three-year (or earlier) duration.
