The appointments are effective immediately and will remain valid for three years, until further notice.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has been reconstituted with 18 members, as announced by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The new board, led by CBFC chairperson Shashi Shekhar Vempati, has been formed with immediate effect for a term of three years or until further notice, whichever comes first. Notable figures from the world of cinema, television, and music have been included in the panel, such as Grammy-winning musician Ricky Kej, actor Suniel Shetty, director Pankaj Tripathi, and Grammy-winning music producer Ricky Kej.
The CBFC, previously reconstituted in August 2017, will now commence its operations with its new members, replacing those who continued beyond 2020 due to provisions allowing them to remain in office until their successors are appointed.
