The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which is supposed to work independently according to the Cinematograph Act, 1952 now seems to totally depend on the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry as far as its budget is concerned.
The Ministry has been providing fund to the board under plan and non plan allocations.
During 2014-15, the Ministry has allocated a fund of Rs. 7.12 crore to the board’s non-plan estimated budget, which was earlier Rs 7.01 crore, while its estimated plan allocation is Rs.2 crore, which was Rs 70 lakh earlier.
