The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has recently made some changes in the film rating system for children. Three new rating categories have been added to the UA category by CBFC. These changes are intended to help parents decide which movies are appropriate for their children.

CBFC's new category CBFC will now issue certificates to films in U, UA 7+, UA 13+, UA 16+, and A categories under the new update.

U category Giving certificate to the film in this category means that this film can be watched by audiences of all ages. Be they children or elders. They can watch this movie.

Sub categories of UA category This category is divided into three different sections on the basis of age. The first is UA 7+, the second is UA 13+, and the third is UA 16+. This means that such films will be included in these categories, which will not be completely banned for children. But it will be viewed with some caution according to age.

UA 7+ category If a film falls in this category, it means that children of 7 years of age and above can watch that film. However, parents can decide whether their young children can watch this movie or not.

UA 13+ category This category means that these films can be watched by children aged 13 years and above. But with parental consent.

UA 16+ category A certificate in this category will guide parents or guardians whether the film is suitable for their children aged 16 years and above.

A category ​​​​​​In this category, those films will be kept which people of 18 years of age and above can watch.

According to Times of India, CBFC board members say that this new update was under discussion for many years. This new structure will ensure that all films do not fall into the same category.

What is Censor Board? The Central Board of Film Certification, also known as the Board of Censors or CBFC, is a constitutional body of the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. This organization monitors the telecast of films under the Cinematograph Act of 1952. In India, no film can be released to the general audience without showing it to the censor board. Before releasing a film, it is necessary to obtain a certificate from the censor board.

How was it formed? The first film in India (Raja Harishchandra) was made in 1913. After this, the Indian Cinematography Act was made in 1920 and came into force only then. Then the Censor Boards of Madras (now Chennai), Bombay (now Mumbai), Calcutta (now Kolkata), Lahore (now in Pakistan) and Rangoon (now Yangon, Burma) were under the Chief of Police. Earlier the regional censors were independent. After independence, the regional censors were brought under the Bombay Board of Film Censors. After the implementation of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, the Board was reconstituted as 'Central Board of Film Censors'. After some changes in the Act in 1983, this institution was named 'Central Board of Film Certification'.
