As digital platforms grow, creators wonder whether they must get censor certification. Here’s the complete clarity.
YouTube Content
✔ Regular YouTube videos — Not mandatory
✔ Ads running on YouTube — May require certification
✔ Branded content — Depends on platform policy
Many brands choose certification to avoid takedowns.
OTT Platforms (Netflix, Amazon, Hotstar, etc.)
OTT platforms follow self-classification guidelines, but certain original films may still require certification depending on release strategy.
Digital Advertisements
If the ad will:
- Play in theatres
- Play on TV
- Be used for government campaigns
- Be used for public screenings
→ CBFC certification is mandatory.
