Shooting in India is not only convenient as compared to foreign locations like Switzerland, but
is also quite budget-friendly. Talking about India, Delhi is among one of the most preferred locations to shoot at. Delhi has undoubtedly become a hub for film shoots. In the last few years, Indian film makers have largely resorted to the capital. It has become a fixture in Bollywood, with story lines being increasingly set here.
Reasons why Delhi is one the best cities for shooting films:
- Delhi is economical to shoot in and permissions are easy to get:- Shooting in Delhi has been made easier with Delhi Tourism’s very own Film Shooting Facilitation Cell. One need not get in touch with intermediaries and multiple agencies to get permissions to shoot at various locations with the Single Window Clearance Mechanism soon to be implemented by Delhi Tourism. All one needs to do is get in touch with Delhi Tourism and the process would be taken forward.
- Market associations not a hurdle:-
- Delhi's market associations allow film shootings without any problems. Chandni Chowk is one of the markets which are widely seen in movies shot in Delhi. If a scene is set inside a restaurant or within a marketplace, one can easily get the shoot done in Delhi. The only condition owners keep is that the restaurant or shop's name should appear on the screen.
- Delhi & NCR have all kinds of backgrounds and backdrops:- Delhi is like a wide stage where film makers can come across distinct backgrounds for their films. One can show any kind of situation in Delhi and NCR, for the region provides all sorts of backdrops from the lower middle class family and the Rajinder Nagar Punjabi family. Delhi is apt for all kinds of shooting scenes. If a filmmaker wants to shoot in college campuses, they go to North Campus. And for a typical Delhi look, film-makers prefer the Old Delhi area. Delhi has a solution for everyone’s demands.

A step by step Guide
The Government of India invites foreign film teams to shoot their films in India – a country with locations of untold beauty. We have also simplified the procedure for shooting of films by foreigners in India and the ensuing paragraphs, we hope, will answer all your questions regarding the procedure to apply for shooting permission.
What should accompany your application?
You need to send a simple letter, telling us of your intention to shoot in India, mentioning the dates of shooting, particulars of the cast and crew, and you chosen locations. Please address your letter to the relevant address a month before you planned shooting schedule, enclose four copies of the final, detailed shooting script, a draft/cheque for US$ 225 drawn in favor of Pay & Accounts Officer, Ministry of I&B (MS), New Delhi (that is a fee for scrutiny of the script), the detailed shooting locations and particulars regarding the cast and crew coming to India. No fee is required for shooting documentaries in India.
Your permission to shoot will normally not take more than three weeks to process. The permission letter issued by the Government of India will facilitate your permission from other local authorities, which may, in some cases, need to be obtained directly from these authorities.
In case any living personality is portrayed in the film as a Character, we suggest that you share the script with that personally or his/her legal heirs, before beginning the shooting, and obtain a “No Objection Letter”. This letter will expedite the clearance of your application, and also guard against the possibility of any defamation or libel suits.
If you propose to shoot your film as a co-production, a copy of the agreement between your company and the Indian Party indicating the role of each party, its responsibilities and liabilities, must accompany the application.
If your film requires shooting in the scenic but sensitive areas of Jammu & Kashmir, the North Eastern India or border belts, and your application will be considered for specific approval in consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs. In such cases, you would need to allow more time to process your application.
What the Indian Mission in your Country will do for you?
Do submit the detailed particulars of all the members of the shooting team, to the Indian Mission in the Country, from which they would be departing for India at the time, indicating your intention to shoot in India. Our mission will issue those visas in the normal course.
Other things that you may want to know?
An expert from a panel constituted for this purpose will scrutinize your script. If considered necessary, to facilitate the shooting a Liaison Officer may be attached to a film shooting team. This officer will help you to get local clearance, and provide an interface with any local institutions. Where a Liaison Officer is so attached to the shooting team, the Government of India will bear his expenses. In exceptional cases you may need to show the completed film to a representative of the Government of India, in India or in an Indian Mission abroad, before its release anywhere in the world. This requirement will apply only to films made on subjects of political, religious or sociocultural sensitivity, and is focused on ensuring that the film has been shot in accordance with the scrutinized script and that the film has nothing objectionable from the point of view of presentation of a correct and balanced perspective on the topic covered.
During the shooting of the film if it is felt that any material changes or deviation from the approved script is necessary, permission may be taken from this Ministry before shooting these scenes.

Government of India, “A” Wing, Shastri Bhavan
