The Union Budget of 2019 was announced by the Acting Finance Minister Piyush Goyal on February 1 in the Parliament. Amidst all the announcements made, the single-window clearance bill passed for Indian Films has come as a breath of fresh air. Talking about it, Siddharth Roy Kapur, the President of Producers Guild of India said that finally, they can see their efforts being paid off. 

"We are delighted that the immense contribution of Indian cinema towards employment generation in the country has been acknowledged and applauded in Parliament during the presentation of the Union Budget. The announcement of a single-window clearance mechanism for Indian filmmakers filming within India is a significant step and has the potential to play a huge role in boosting tourism in the country. The amendments in the Anti Camcording provisions will support the industry's growth by curtailing illegal recordings of films in cinema halls and will go a long way towards reducing piracy."
