The initiative seeks to streamline regulatory mechanisms and provide a structured framework for industry growth.<\/p>\n<p>Under the proposed legislation, the authority will be funded by the Government of Punjab to meet operational and development expenses. The bill envisages the introduction of a comprehensive film policy, including rules, regulations, and a licensing regime to facilitate producers and content creators.<\/p>\n<p>A key feature of the proposal is the provision of a one-window operation, enabling filmmakers to obtain permits, approvals, and other necessary clearances through a single platform. This is expected to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and improve ease of doing business in the sector.<\/p>\n<p>The bill also outlines incentives to attract both local and foreign investment, with a focus on positioning Punjab as a hub for film production. It emphasises promoting the province\u2019s culture, tourism potential, and positive image through visual storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation has been referred to the relevant standing committee for a period of two months, which will review the draft and present its report. Following the committee\u2019s recommendations, the bill will be presented for approval in the Punjab Assembly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Punjab government has decided to establish the Punjab Film City Authority in a move aimed at revitalising the film industry and promoting creative content production across the province.
