The Central Board of Film Certification or CBFC is the regulatory film body and censor board of India. It is quite similar to the MPAA. However, the rating system of the CBFC is different from that of the MPAA. Posters are also censored by the CBFC. According to the Supreme Court of India: As of 2006, there is no movie which is passed by CBFC which contains frontal nudity and sex-scenes.
Chairmen Vijay Anand was chairman from 2001 until his resignation in 2002. After that, Anupam Kher also worked for the CBFC. Sharmila Tagore is the present chairman of the CBFC.
